Advanced Broadband Sonar Technology

Experience the precision of Furuno's proprietary broadband technology that revolutionizes fish detection and bottom discrimination.

Dual-Frequency Performance

• 50 kHz Low Frequency: 20° beam angle for deep water penetration up to 2,500 feet
• 200 kHz High Frequency: 6° beam angle for precise target identification and superior resolution
• No diplexer required - direct dual-frequency operation for simplified installation
• Ceramic element technology provides exceptional signal clarity and longevity

Professional Power & Range

• 1,000 Watt power output delivers maximum depth penetration and fish detection
• 1,800-2,500 ft depth capability on 50 kHz for offshore and deep water fishing
• 700-1,000 ft range on 200 kHz for detailed bottom structure and fish identification
• Low ringing design eliminates signal interference for clear fish detection near bottom

Bronze Thru-Hull Construction

Built for marine durability and optimal performance with corrosion-resistant bronze construction suitable for all water conditions.

Marine-Grade Materials

• Bronze housing construction provides superior corrosion resistance in saltwater environments
• B260 design standard ensures compatibility with wide range of hull materials and configurations
• Integrated temperature sensor provides accurate water temperature readings for fish pattern analysis
• 1.3-foot shaft length accommodates various hull thicknesses and deadrise angles

High-Speed Performance

• High-speed fairing block included (AIR-033-391) maintains signal quality at cruising speeds
• Optimized for speeds over 30 knots without loss of bottom tracking or fish detection
• Streamlined hydrodynamic design reduces turbulence and cavitation
• Professional installation ready for sportfishing boats over 30 feet

Professional Installation Features

Installation Specifications

• 10-meter (33-foot) cable length provides installation flexibility
• No connector provided - allows custom wiring to match specific sounder requirements
• Separate leads for each frequency ensures optimal signal transmission

Technical Specifications

Advanced Fish Detection Capabilities

• Superior bottom discrimination reveals hard bottom, soft mud, and structure composition
• Enhanced fish arch definition distinguishes individual fish from schools
• Thermocline detection identifies temperature breaks where fish concentrate
• Structure mapping reveals ledges, drop-offs, and underwater terrain
• Baitfish identification locates forage that attracts game fish

Marine Applications

Ideal Vessel Types

• Offshore sportfishing boats 30+ feet for deep water fishing
• Charter fishing vessels requiring professional-grade fish detection
• Commercial fishing boats needing reliable depth sounding and fish finding
• Cruising yachts with navigation and depth monitoring requirements

Fishing Applications

• Deep sea fishing: Locate fish in 100-2500 foot depths
• Bottom fishing: Identify structure and fish holding tight to bottom
• Trolling operations: Maintain fish detection at cruising speeds
• Commercial fishing: Professional fish location and bottom mapping

Installation & Maintenance

Professional Installation Recommended: This thru-hull transducer requires cutting a 2" hole through the hull and proper sealing to prevent water intrusion. Installation should comply with ABYC standards for through-hull fittings.

Installation Considerations

• Hull thickness compatibility: Suitable for hulls up to 1.3 feet thick
• Deadrise angle accommodation: Adjustable for various hull configurations
• Fairing block installation essential for high-speed performance
• Cable routing should avoid engine compartments and high-interference areas

Maintenance Requirements

• Annual inspection of through-hull fitting and sealing
• Bronze cleaning to remove marine growth and maintain performance
• Cable connection inspection for corrosion or damage
• Temperature sensor calibration verification annually
