Furuno 1kW 0° Tilted Element Transducer
Furuno 1kW 0° Tilted Element Transducer — Product description
1 kW
Step up to a 1 kW—without a fairing! The 1 kW, flush-mount, Tilted Element transducer is perfect for fast, trailered vessels that cannot accommodate a High-performance Fairing. The flush-mounted, bronze housing extends less than 6.35 mm (1/4") below the hull, so it can sit on trailer rollers and bunks. The ceramic arrays are tilted inside the housing, providing the perfect vertical beam with maximum energy on what is directly below the boat.
Available in three Tilted Element models:
- Fixed 20° tilted version for 16 to 24° hull deadrise angles
- Fixed 12° tilted version for 8 to 15° hull deadrise angles
- Fixed 0° tilted version for 0 to 7° hull deadrise angles
Upgrade your fishing setup with the Furuno B164-0-10F, a powerhouse 1kW tilted element transducer designed for serious anglers chasing trophy catches. This 0° tilted version delivers pinpoint accuracy on depths and temperatures without needing a bulky fairing, making it ideal for high-speed trailered boats that demand rugged reliability.
Why Choose the B164-0-10F for Superior Fishfinding?
Crafted with Airmar's cutting-edge tilted element technology, the B164-0-10F houses its high-output ceramic array at a precise angle inside a sleek bronze flush-mount housing. This innovation ensures maximum signal energy beams straight down from your hull, cutting through water clutter for crystal-clear images of structure, bait balls, and game fish. Unlike traditional transducers that suffer from hull deadrise interference, this model thrives on flat-bottom or low-deadrise vessels, protruding just a quarter-inch to glide effortlessly over trailer bunks and rollers.
Operating at dual frequencies—50 kHz for wide-area sweeps up to 3,000 feet in ideal conditions and 200 kHz for high-resolution details—this transducer pairs seamlessly with Furuno's top-tier sounders. Expect sharper target separation, reduced noise from aerated water during high-speed trolling, and reliable temp readings to track thermoclines where big fish stage.
Key Performance Specs and Build Quality
- Power Handling: 1kW RMS for deep-water penetration and vivid bottom detail.

- Housing: Durable marine-grade bronze, corrosion-resistant for saltwater abuse.
- Mounting: Flush design with minimal hull protrusion (under 6.35 mm), perfect for trailerable hulls.
- Sensors: Integrated depth and fast-response temperature probe.
- Cable: 10-meter length with stainless steel connector for easy integration.
Installation Insights for Peak Performance
Position the B164-0-10F forward of your propeller and strakes, ideally amidships on a flat hull section for the 0° tilt to shine. Core through the hull with a 3-inch hole, bed in epoxy, and secure with backing hardware—common sense steps that pros swear by for zero leak worries. No fairing means simpler installs and less drag, keeping your boat nimble. Test at various speeds post-install to dial in gains sensitivity and eliminate interference.
Real-World Applications for Tournament Pros
Whether you're running offshore ledges for grouper or scanning shallows for bass in big-water reservoirs, this transducer elevates your edge. Trailering tournament bass boats? Its low-profile build laughs off bunk rash. High-speed offshore? It punches through turbulence like a champ. Anglers report game-changing marks on wrecks and suspended schools that lesser units miss entirely.
Long-Term Maintenance for Lasting Value
Wipe down after every trip with fresh water to fend off salt buildup. Inspect the face for marine growth and gently clean with a soft brush—no abrasives. Store dry in off-seasons to preserve the ceramic. With proper care, expect years of bulletproof service from this battle-tested design.
