HD Sonar Detail
The LVS42HD is all about seeing more detail where you’re actively fishing, with up to 50% more detail at closer ranges! Improved resolution, reduced sonar artefacts and smoother imagery help separate fish and lures more clearly as they move through the sonar beam.125ft Sonar Range
The LVS42HD is optimised for castable distances and can track out to 125ft in Forward and Down modes! It’s built for anglers who put detailed target separation ahead of the extra reach offered by the LVS44.Fast Real-Time Processing
Fast processing and low latency let you see fish and lure movement as it happens beneath the surface! That immediate feedback helps you watch fish react and stay across what’s happening while you work a lure.No Black Box Required
The LVS42HD connects directly to a compatible Garmin chartplotter and power source without a separate sonar black box! That means fewer components in the setup while still putting LiveScope™ 2 HD imagery straight onto your display.Wider Sonar Coverage
Forward mode provides up to 165° of coverage, while Down and Perspective modes stretch to 180°! It gives you a broad live view whether you’re looking ahead of the boat, directly beneath it or across the surrounding water.Image Stabilisation
Integrated sensors provide enhanced image stabilisation to help keep the live sonar picture easier to interpret as conditions change! It’s another handy improvement when you’re trying to stay locked onto fish and structure in real time.Water and Temperature Sensors
Built-in water detection automatically switches the sonar off when the transducer comes out of the water, while an integrated temperature sensor provides water temperature readings when submerged! It keeps useful sensing functions built straight into the transducer.BCF’s got you covered nationwide with a huge network of stores and convenient Click & Collect or home delivery options.
