    The GT's have a dedicated down element whereas the CV's blend the side images to obtain the down view. Similar to what HB did, or does, on some of their models. Personally, I have the GT52 and cannot honestly tell you from my own experience what to expect. One of the guys on BBC (has some nice results) is ifishinxs and he has both, uses both and states he cannot tell a difference. Especially in water less than 30'. Rickie has posted some displays and charts that show how it works. I'm not recommending anything to someone, nor defending anything, nor trashing anything. My late friend had a Bird with blended down view. We fished Wappapello. Found a lot of stuff and caught a lot of crappie. All I can, or will, offer.

    This is the one that came with the 73sv that I'm installing on a ski boat and yes I think it is ridiculous to put this on a ski boat Name:  1523472547138.jpg

    If you received the CV52 instead of the GT52, call them. The more calls they get, the better chance everyone will/might receive the right transducer as advertised.
    Not sure that you will get the “right” transducer. The cv is what can be made now in the US. Might get a gift card for the wrong info being on their site.

    On another site, BassPro gave a $25 gift card to an individual who called about the CV52 being substituted for the advertised GT52. I still want my GT52 as advertised. It’s like I told the nice young lady at BassPro, if she ordered a pink dress as advertised and the retailer sent her a yellow dress instead how would she feel. Both fit, but it is not what was advertised. We’ll see what happens. I respect the front line customer service reps who take the wrath after corporate marketing makes a mistake (bait and switch). They have a tough job when this happens. Be nice. It’s not their fault.

    Lawnmower man 43- did you request the CV-51? That's a $600 transducer.

    Echomap plus, no. As for the others, I would advise to call Garmin or see if Todd Driscoll is on this site.
