It is rated at 600 W and uses a 10 m (33 ft) cable with a Navico 9-pin xSonic-style connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tilt is meant for hull deadrise angles from 8° to 15° at the mounting location, helping keep the beam aimed straight down without a fairing block. The low-profile housing sits close to the hull and extends about 5 mm (3\/16 in) outside the boat, and the body measures 84 mm in diameter by 95 mm overall height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConventional dual-frequency sonar: 50 kHz with a 45° beam and 200 kHz with a 12° beam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e600 W power rating for traditional 50\/200 kHz sounders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12° tilted element for 8° to 15° hull deadrise at the install point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth and water temperature sensing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 m (33 ft) attached cable with Navico 9-pin xSonic-style connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-profile thru-hull body that extends about 5 mm (3\/16 in) below the hull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel housing; compatible with all hull materials when installed correctly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHull cutout guidance: 60 mm (2-3\/8 in) hole for fiberglass or wood; 70 mm (2-13\/16 in) for metal hulls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a below-the-waterline thru-hull install, so placement matters as much as the transducer itself. Plan for smooth water flow under the hull, keep it clear of strakes and intakes, and aim for a location that stays submerged across your normal running trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the 12° model, align the arrow on the top of the housing toward the keel or centerline so the internal tilt matches the hull angle. Use marine sealant suitable for below-waterline fittings, route the cable away from ignition wiring and high-current runs when possible, and check for leaks shortly after launch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe connector is a Navico 9-pin xSonic-style plug used on many Simrad and related sonar-capable displays and sounder modules. Confirm your unit has a matching 9-pin transducer port, or plan for an adapter if your sounder uses a different connector style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck hull thickness at the mounting point before drilling. The usable shaft length is 68.5 mm (2.70 in), and metal-housed thru-hulls must be installed with proper isolation practices in metal hulls to reduce the risk of electrolytic corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis transducer is a good match for boats that want a traditional 50\/200 kHz depth sounder and dependable temperature readings without adding a fairing block. It is commonly used on smaller fishing and cruising boats where a low-profile thru-hull helps keep drag and spray down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the face clean for consistent sonar returns and avoid harsh solvents when washing around the transducer. In saltwater, a water-based antifouling coating on the transducer face is commonly used to slow marine growth, and the cable should not be used as a lifting or pulling point during service.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simrad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269740130485,"sku":"QBP037863","price":495.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1301161_qbp037863.png?v=1771545484","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp037863","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
