Overview
The Garmin 010-10982-01 is a B60-12 tilted-element through-hull transducer with a 6-pin connector for compatible Garmin sounders. It runs traditional dual-frequency sonar at 50/200 kHz with 600 W RMS output, and it reports both depth and water temperature.
The ceramic element is fixed at a 12° angle inside the housing so the sonar beam stays aimed closer to vertical on hull sections with deadrise. This version is intended for deadrise angles in the 8° to 15° range, which helps you avoid the added drag and install complexity of a fairing block.
For planning the install, the housing sits nearly flush with about 5 mm (0.19 in) extending below the hull. The cap is roughly 84 mm (3.30 in) in diameter, and the installation calls for a 60 mm (2.375 in) hull cutout.
Key features
- 50/200 kHz traditional dual-frequency sonar with 600 W RMS output
- 12° tilted element to suit 8° to 15° hull deadrise while keeping the beam aimed down
- Bronze through-hull body with a low-profile shape and about 5 mm (0.19 in) protrusion below the hull
- Beamwidths: 45° at 50 kHz and 12° at 200 kHz
- Built-in temperature sensor for water temperature readout
- 60 mm (2.375 in) hull cutout requirement for the thru-hull installation
- 6-pin connector for Garmin sounders that use the 6-pin transducer port
Compatibility and fit
This transducer is meant for installs where the local hull deadrise at the mounting point falls in the 8° to 15° range. It is a 50/200 kHz, 600 W traditional sonar transducer with a Garmin 6-pin connector, so your sounder needs to support those frequencies and that connector style.
Installation and setup
As a thru-hull transducer, installation involves drilling a 60 mm (2.375 in) hole and sealing the housing to the hull with an appropriate marine sealant. Choose a location that stays in clean, aeration-free water underway, and confirm you have adequate inside-hull clearance for the stem, nut, and cable routing. During final alignment, orient the cap so its arrow points toward the keel.
Use cases on board
This style of low-profile, tilted-element transducer is commonly used on center consoles and boats that are trailered, where you want depth and temperature data without a tall fairing block. It is a practical match for coastal cruising, inshore fishing, and general sounder use where 50 kHz is helpful for wider coverage and 200 kHz is helpful for a tighter beam.
Maintenance and care
Keep the face clean for consistent returns, especially after extended time in the water. If antifouling is needed, use a coating intended for transducer faces and apply it carefully so the acoustic window stays smooth and free of buildup.
