Simrad B60 Bronze Thru-Hull Depth/Temp Transducer, 50/200kHz, 600W, 9-Pin, 10m Cable

Overview

The Simrad B60 is a thru-hull depth and water temperature transducer that runs at 50/200 kHz with a 600 W rating, using a 9-pin xSonic connector and a 10 m (33 ft) cable.

It uses a 45° beam at 50 kHz for broader coverage and a 12° beam at 200 kHz when you want more detail. Typical depth performance is up to 366 m (1,200 ft) at 50 kHz and 213 m (700 ft) at 200 kHz.

The housing sits nearly flush with only about 5 mm (3/16 in) outside the hull. It uses a bronze body intended for fiberglass or wood hulls and installs through a 60 mm (2-3/8 in) hole.

Key features

• Conventional 50/200 kHz depth sounding plus water temperature sensing (no speed sensor)
• 600 W rating with a 45° beam at 50 kHz and a 12° beam at 200 kHz
• 9-pin xSonic connector with a 10 m (33 ft) cable
• Low-profile thru-hull shape with about 5 mm (3/16 in) outside the hull
• 60 mm (2-3/8 in) hole size and 68.5 mm (2.70 in) usable shaft length
• Urethane acoustic window at the transducer face

Variants

This transducer is offered with different internal element angles to match common hull deadrise ranges.

The tilt option is the main difference between versions. Each one keeps the same 50/200 kHz, 600 W depth and temperature functions, along with a low-profile bronze thru-hull body, a 9-pin plug, and a 10 m (33 ft) cable.

• 000-16185-001: 0° element angle. Suits flatter mounting areas and hull deadrise from 0° to 7° so the beam stays aimed straight down.
• 000-16186-001: 12° tilted element. Matches hull deadrise from 8° to 15° for a beam that points down when the transducer sits close to flush.
• 000-16188-001: 20° tilted element. Matches hull deadrise from 16° to 24° for deeper V hulls where a straight element would shoot off-angle.

Compatibility and fit

The bronze housing is intended for fiberglass and wood hulls. For aluminum or steel hulls, a stainless steel thru-hull transducer is typically used instead.

Plan for inside access to tighten the retaining nut and route the cable. Confirm the mounting point works with the 68.5 mm (2.70 in) usable shaft length, and that the 60 mm (2-3/8 in) cutout is clear of coring, stringers, and other structure.

Installation and setup

Choose a spot that stays submerged and sees smooth water flow, away from strakes, steps, and fittings that can feed air across the face. With the tilted-element versions, the angle correction is built into the housing, so the body can mount close to flush without an external fairing.

After installation, configure your sonar for a standard 50/200 kHz transducer and verify depth and temperature readings at the dock before heading offshore.

Use cases on board

This is a good match for smaller boats running a conventional sounder for coastal cruising, offshore runs, or fishing over reefs and wrecks. The 50 kHz channel helps when you need broader coverage in deeper water, while 200 kHz is useful for cleaner returns in shallower depths.

Maintenance and care

Keep the transducer face free of growth and heavy paint buildup, and include it in your normal underwater hardware checks for bonding and anode condition. If you apply antifouling, use a transducer-safe coating in thin coats so it does not dampen the signal.

Shipping
We ship worldwide from the United States. Rates are calculated at checkout based on destination and package weight. Some items include free shipping, which will show automatically. Not every product is eligible for international shipping; checkout will confirm eligibility. We do not ship to PO Boxes except through USPS, and not all packages qualify.

Processing and dispatch
Most orders are verified, packed, and handed to the carrier within 1 to 2 business days. Some products may need extra handling time or ship directly from the manufacturer. For certain international orders, inventory transfers between warehouses may add time. If any delay is expected, we will let you know the dispatch date.

Delivery and tracking
Deliveries are handled by trusted carriers such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. Estimated arrival times appear at checkout and depend on your location and the service you choose. These are estimates and can be affected by customs or carrier disruptions. A shipping confirmation with a tracking link is emailed when your order ships, and tracking may take up to 24 hours to update. You can also view tracking in your account.

Duties, taxes, and support
International customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, and fees charged by the destination country. If these charges are refused and a shipment returns to us, the carrier’s return cost and any re-entry customs fees will be deducted from the refund. If your order is late or you need help, contact cs@qualityboatparts.com and we will assist you.

Quality Boat Parts is a reseller. Many items include a manufacturer’s warranty, and all warranty service is handled directly by the manufacturer. We do not manage or administer warranty claims on behalf of customers.

Warranty terms, coverage, and duration are set by each manufacturer. Issues involving defects, repairs, or replacements must be addressed with the manufacturer’s support team. When available, the warranty period is listed on the product page. If it is not shown, contact us or the manufacturer for details before purchasing.

To start a claim, the customer must contact the manufacturer and follow their process. Keep your proof of purchase and original packaging, and register the product if the manufacturer requires it, as these are often needed for warranty service.
