It is rated at 600 W, with a 45° beam at 50 kHz for broader coverage and a 12° beam at 200 kHz for tighter bottom detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a low-profile “mushroom” style install with about 5 mm (3\/16 in) outside the hull, which helps keep drag down on boats that run at speed. It is intended for fiberglass and wood hulls with a deadrise around 0–7°, uses a 39 ft (12 m) cable, and fits a 2 in (51 mm) thru-hull hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBronze housings are not a fit for metal hull installations, where corrosion control and housing material choices are different.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-frequency 50\/200 kHz sonar with 45° (50 kHz) and 12° (200 kHz) beamwidth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e600 W power rating for depth sounding, with depth performance that can reach about 366 m (1,200 ft) at 50 kHz and about 213 m (700 ft) at 200 kHz in good conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth and fast-response water-temperature sensing in one thru-hull transducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-profile bronze housing with about 5 mm (3\/16 in) proud of the hull to reduce drag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-pin connector and 39 ft (12 m) cable for runs from bilge to helm or sounder module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended for fiberglass and wood hulls with approximately 0–7° deadrise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the mounting spot in clean water where the transducer face stays submerged and clear of prop wash, strakes, and turbulent flow. A straight shot from inside the hull matters too, since you need room to seat the housing, apply the correct bedding compound for a below-waterline bronze thru-hull, and fully tighten the hull nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2 in (51 mm) hole size makes this a more committed install than a transom mount, so many owners install it during haul-out. After bedding and tightening, route the cable with a drip loop and keep it away from high-current runs when possible to help prevent noise in the sonar return.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 6-pin plug matches Garmin sounders and modules that use a 6-pin transducer port. If your sonar hardware uses a different connector style, the fit is handled with the appropriate adapter cable so the transducer and the port match correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis transducer is tuned for hulls with lower deadrise angles; on steeper deadrise hulls, a tilted-element style is typically used to keep the sonar beam closer to vertical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis style of transducer is a solid match for coastal cruising and offshore fishing boats that want dependable bottom tracking and water temperature without adding drag or a large fairing block. It also makes sense on sailboats and smaller powerboats where a nearly flush thru-hull keeps the underside clean around trailer bunks and rollers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52268987646133,"sku":"QBP200923","price":322.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1298756_qbp200923.jpg?v=1771541321","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp200923","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
