Furuno DST810PSF NMEA 2000 Airmar Smart Transducer Plastic Thru Hull
Furuno DST810PSF NMEA 2000 Airmar Smart Transducer Plastic Thru Hull — Product description
Unlock Precision Navigation with the Furuno DST-810 Smart Multisensor
Imagine gliding through choppy waters or tacking against the wind, with real-time data on depth, speed, and boat attitude feeding directly into your chartplotter. The Furuno DST-810 stands out as a game-changer for serious boaters, combining depth sounding, speed-through-water, temperature sensing, and heel/trim correction in one compact thru-hull unit. Unlike basic transducers that lag in updates or ignore boat lean, this NMEA 2000®-connected sensor delivers smooth 5 Hz speed data—five times per second—for sharper log readings and smarter decisions on the fly.
Boaters rave about its shallow-water prowess at 235 kHz, picking up contours where others fade. And with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for wireless setup, you calibrate speed across heel angles right from your phone, no pricey PC needed. Whether you're racing sailboats or cruising power vessels, it levels up your onboard electronics without the clutter of multiple sensors.
Standout Features That Deliver Real-World Results
- Ultra-Responsive Speed Output: 5 Hz updates mean smoother speed-through-water displays, helping you spot current shifts or optimize sail trim instantly.
- Built-In Attitude Sensor: Tracks heel and trim with ±1° accuracy post-calibration, correcting speed data for accurate performance even when heeled over 20°.
- Advanced Calibration Freedom: Dial in up to 10 speeds at various heel angles via the intuitive app—perfect for racers fine-tuning in different conditions.
- Seamless NMEA 2000® Integration: Plugs into your network, sharing depth (up to 100m), corrected speed (to 45 knots), attitude, and temp data across compatible MFDs like Furuno TZtouch or Raymarine Axiom.
- Shallow Water Specialist: 235 kHz frequency excels in less than 2 feet, ideal for inshore fishing, coastal cruising, or exploring skinny waters.
- Wireless Simplicity: BLE connectivity up to 30 feet lets you configure from the dock or helm, storing settings onboard for plug-and-play reliability.
Effortless Installation for Lasting Performance
Designed for hull deadrise up to 22°, this thru-hull transducer mounts cleanly on fiberglass, wood, or metal hulls. Start by fairing the housing to match your hull angle for bubble-free speed readings. The urethane acoustic window resists fouling, while the robust insert ensures a secure fit. Run the 20-foot DeviceNet cable to your NMEA 2000® backbone—power comes from the bus (9-16 VDC). Pair via BLE app for initial heel calibration: motor in circles at various speeds to nail accuracy. Pro tip: Position away from strakes or prop wash for cleanest data; sailors often mount amidships for balanced trim readings.
Common pitfalls? Over-tightening the nut can stress the hull—hand-tight plus a quarter turn suffices. In cold climates, check temp sensor range (-10°C to 40°C) stays within limits to avoid icing issues.
Perfect for Sailors, Anglers, and Cruisers Alike
Sail Racing: Heel-corrected speed lets you polar-plot your boat's true performance, shaving seconds off upwind legs.
Powerboating: Trim data optimizes planing efficiency, while high-speed range handles 45-knot runs.
Inshore Fishing: Shallow depth resolution spots structure in 1.6 feet, paired with precise temp for targeting species.
Upgrade from paddlewheels that foul easily—this impeller-free design keeps spinning accurately season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Furuno DST-810 correct speed for heel angle?
Yes, its integrated attitude sensor measures heel and trim, automatically correcting speed-through-water data for accuracy up to 22° deadrise.
How do I calibrate the speed sensor?
Use the Bluetooth app to enter manual speeds at up to 10 points and multiple heel angles—no PC required. Motor in steady circles for best results.
Is this transducer suitable for shallow water?
Absolutely, with 235 kHz frequency and 0.5m minimum depth, it shines in shallow bays and flats where higher frequencies might blank out.
What displays work with NMEA 2000® data from this sensor?
It integrates with any NMEA 2000® compatible MFD, including Furuno, Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine, and Lowrance systems.
Can I use it on a sailboat with significant heel?
Perfect for sailing—the heel/trim correction ensures reliable speed data even during tacks or puffs.
What's the wireless range for configuration?
Up to 30 feet via BLE, depending on obstructions; configure from the cockpit or nearby dock.
Does it have an impeller that needs cleaning?
No impeller means less maintenance; the advanced pulse technology stays accurate without frequent servicing.
