Furuno CA200B-8B/30 2kW Rubber Coated Transducer - 200kHz

Discover Superior Underwater Imaging with the Low-Profile Bronze Thru-Hull Transducer

Enhance your boating experience with this robust, low-profile bronze thru-hull transducer designed for reliable performance in marine environments. Crafted in the style of the renowned Airmar B117 housing, it delivers crystal-clear sonar readings across dual frequencies, making it a favorite among serious anglers and navigators who demand precision without the bulk of traditional designs.

The sleek, hydrodynamic shape minimizes drag while ensuring optimal signal transmission through the hull. Whether you're tracking fish in shallow waters or scanning deeper zones, this transducer provides consistent beam coverage that helps you spot structure, baitfish, and game fish with ease. Its bronze construction offers excellent corrosion resistance, standing up to saltwater exposure over countless trips.

Key Performance Specifications

• Power Handling: Rated at 600 watts for strong signal penetration and detailed returns.
• Dual Frequency Operation: Seamlessly switches between 50 kHz and 200 kHz to match your fishing depths and conditions.
• Beam Angles: Expansive 45° at 50 kHz for wide-area coverage in deep water, narrowing to 15° at 200 kHz for high-resolution targeting in shallows.
• Integrated Temperature Sensor: Provides accurate water temperature data alongside sonar, essential for locating thermoclines and species-specific hotspots.
• Cable Length: Generous 30-foot cable with a reliable 10-pin connector for straightforward integration into your existing Furuno display system.

These specs translate to sharper images on your fishfinder screen, reducing guesswork and boosting your success rate on the water.

Why Choose a Low-Profile Design?

Unlike taller transducers that protrude significantly below the hull, this low-profile model hugs the waterline closely, reducing vulnerability to impacts from debris, logs, or docking mishaps. It's ideal for trailered boats, sailboats, or any vessel where hull clearance matters. The result? Peace of mind and uninterrupted performance season after season.

Bronze thru-hull mounting ensures a secure, watertight seal, with the material's natural properties providing superior acoustic efficiency compared to plastic alternatives. Paired with its dual-beam capability, you'll gain insights into bottom composition, suspended targets, and even subtle wrecks or reefs that others might miss.

Perfect for Versatile Marine Applications

From coastal trolling for striped bass to offshore adventures chasing tuna, this transducer excels in diverse scenarios. The 50 kHz frequency punches through to depths beyond 1,000 feet in ideal conditions, while 200 kHz shines for structure fishing in bays, rivers, and lakes. Anglers appreciate the temp sensor for dialing in lure choices based on real-time water conditions, giving you an edge over the competition.

Installation is straightforward for those familiar with thru-hull fittings—simply drill, bed with marine sealant, and connect. Its compatibility with popular Furuno sounders ensures plug-and-play simplicity, letting you focus on the water rather than wiring woes.

Maximize Your Setup for Peak Performance

To get the most from your transducer, position it forward of any prop wash or turbulence, ideally amidships on a flat hull section. Regular cleaning of the face prevents marine growth from dulling your sonar returns. Combine it with a high-quality amplifier or network sounder for even finer target separation and bottom discrimination.

Users report noticeable improvements in fish arch clarity and depth accuracy, turning average outings into trophy hauls. It's not just about seeing fish—it's about understanding the underwater world to fish smarter.
