Furuno CA50/200ID-R199 2Kw 50/200KHZ W/IN-HULL Kit
Furuno CA50/200ID-R199 2Kw 50/200KHZ W/IN-HULL Kit — Product description
Discover the power of precise underwater detection with this high-performance 2kW dual-frequency transducer designed for seamless in-hull mounting. Ideal for serious anglers, cruisers, and commercial operators who demand reliable sonar performance without drilling through the hull, it delivers exceptional clarity across varied water depths and conditions.
Whether you're chasing trophy fish in deep offshore waters or navigating shallow coastal areas, the wide-to-narrow beam versatility ensures you never miss a target. Its robust rubber-coated housing paired with a dedicated tank setup minimizes signal loss, providing crystal-clear images that rival thru-hull installations.
Standout Features for Superior Sonar Performance
- Dual-Frequency Operation: Switch effortlessly between 50kHz for expansive deep-water coverage and 200kHz for detailed high-resolution scans in shallower zones.
- Optimized Beam Angles: 9° x 17° at 50kHz captures broad swaths of the bottom, while the precise 6° beam at 200kHz pinpoints fish and structure with pinpoint accuracy.
- High-Power Output: 2kW pulse power punches through thermoclines and turbid water, revealing targets up to thousands of feet deep depending on your display unit.
Effortless In-Hull Integration
The rubber-coated design conforms perfectly to the hull's interior, and the included tank fills with a coupling medium like oil or antifreeze to bridge the gap between transducer and water. This setup maintains signal integrity on displacement hulls, sailboats, and multihulls where thru-hull mounts aren't feasible.
With a generous 10-meter cable, routing to your helm is straightforward, though note it arrives without a connector—customize to match your Furuno sounder for a clean install.
Real-World Applications and Performance Insights
In offshore trolling scenarios, the low-frequency mode excels at marking bait balls and wrecks from afar, while high-frequency precision helps separate individual fish from clutter. Sailboat owners appreciate the non-invasive mount, preserving hull integrity during long voyages.
Expert tip: Pair it with advanced Furuno processors for CHIRP functionality, unlocking even broader bandwidth and fish-holding structure discrimination. Users report consistent bottom tracking even at speeds over 20 knots, thanks to the stable in-hull positioning.
"This transducer transformed my sonar readings from fuzzy guesses to surgical precision—perfect for spotting swordfish ledges in 1,000 feet of water." – Experienced offshore captain
Installation and Maintenance Made Simple
Prep your hull interior with a flat mounting spot, secure the transducer face-down in the tank, and fill to eliminate air pockets. Fair the tank edges for smooth water flow outside. For optimal results, align it parallel to the keel centerline to avoid skewing beam patterns.
Maintenance is minimal: Periodically inspect the rubber coating for wear and drain/refill the tank seasonally to prevent moisture issues. Its durable construction withstands years of saltwater exposure when properly installed.
Compatibility Notes
Works with a range of Furuno multifunction displays and dedicated sounders. In select setups, an additional mixer like the MB1100 enhances multi-frequency blending—verify with your system specs for peak integration.
Why This Transducer Stands Above the Rest
Unlike generic pod-style units, its tailored in-hull kit delivers pro-grade performance without the hassle of fairing blocks or wet wiring. Boaters praise its sensitivity to subtle bottom hardness changes, aiding in lobster trap spotting or reef navigation. Invest in reliability that pays off with every trip.
