Raymarine B60-20, 20 Degree Tilted Element f/A Series
Raymarine B60-20, 20 Degree Tilted Element f/A Series — Product description
Navigating challenging waters demands precision, and the Raymarine B60-20 tilted element transducer delivers just that for boaters with hulls sporting 16° to 24° deadrise angles. This bronze thru-hull design eliminates the hassle of fairing blocks, mounting nearly flush to slice through water with minimal drag—just 5 mm protruding from the hull. Ideal for Raymarine A-series displays, it captures crisp depth and temperature data at 50/200 kHz, empowering you with reliable sonar performance whether you're chasing fish or plotting safe passages.
Superior Beam Performance Without Compromise
The secret lies in its innovative tilted ceramic element, which naturally aligns the beam vertically despite your hull's angle. This setup yields sharper echo returns compared to standard transducers on sloped hulls, reducing signal distortion for pinpoint accuracy in depth readings. At 600W RMS power, it punches through murky conditions, revealing structure and bait schools with mid-range clarity that's trusted by serious anglers and cruisers alike.
Real-World Advantages for Boaters
- Drag Reduction: Flush profile boosts speed and fuel efficiency on planing hulls.
- Versatile Coverage: Dual-frequency operation—wide 200 kHz cone for shallow hunting, narrow 50 kHz for deep-water scans up to hundreds of feet.
- Integrated Temp Sensing: Tracks water temperature shifts to help locate thermoclines where game fish congregate.
- Durable Bronze Housing: Resists corrosion in saltwater, standing up to years of abuse in marine environments.
Streamlined Installation for DIY Enthusiasts
Fitting this transducer is straightforward on fiberglass, wood, or even some metal hulls. Drill a precise 2-inch (50 mm) hole below the waterline, ideally forward of the prop and keel line to avoid turbulence. The tilted design self-compensates, so skip the fairing—seal with marine sealant and secure the nut from inside. Pro tip: Test beam alignment post-install by checking for consistent bottom tracking at speed. Pair it with Raymarine A-series multifunction displays for seamless integration and customizable sonar views.
Longevity Tips
Keep readings crisp by wiping the face clean during haul-outs, avoiding abrasive cleaners. In high-growth areas, apply a thin antifouling paint layer. Regular checks ensure peak performance season after season.
Ideal Applications Across Vessel Types
From center-console fishing rigs to sportfishers with moderate deadrise, this transducer shines in scenarios demanding clear bottom detail. Offshore anglers appreciate the 50 kHz penetration for wrecks and ledges, while coastal explorers leverage the temp sensor for bait runs. It's a step up from plastic probes for those upgrading sonar without hull modifications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What deadrise angles is the Raymarine B60-20 designed for?
It's optimized for hulls with 16° to 24° deadrise angles, providing built-in compensation for a vertical beam without needing a fairing block.
Does this transducer require a fairing block?
No, the 20° tilted element inside the housing eliminates the need for a fairing, simplifying installation and reducing drag.
What frequencies does the B60-20 operate at?
It supports dual 50/200 kHz frequencies, offering wide coverage for shallows and narrow focus for deeper waters.
Is a temperature sensor included?
Yes, it provides integrated depth and temperature sensing, helping track water conditions for better fishing strategies.
What hull materials work best with this bronze transducer?
Bronze construction suits fiberglass and wood hulls primarily, with corrosion resistance ideal for saltwater use; consult for metal hull compatibility.
What's the installation hole size?
It requires a standard 2-inch (50 mm) thru-hull hole, making it compatible with common marine fittings.
How much power does it output?
Rated at 600W RMS, it delivers solid mid-performance sonar suitable for most recreational and light commercial boats.
20° titled version is designed for 16° - 24° deadrise angles
The bronze B60-20° provide a vertical beam without a fairing. Inside the housing, the ceramic element is tilted to provide built-in deadrise compensation. The resulting vertical beam provides excellent echo returns for more accurate depth readings. The nearly flush housing minimizes drag with only 5 mm (3/16") extending outside of the hull.
