Simrad M260 9-PIN In-Hull 50/200KHZ Transducer
Simrad M260 9-PIN In-Hull 50/200KHZ Transducer — Product description
Discover the power of precise underwater detection with the Simrad M260 in-hull transducer, a game-changer for anglers and commercial operators chasing fish in deeper waters. This dual-frequency powerhouse combines wide-area scanning at 50 kHz with pinpoint accuracy at 200 kHz, making it perfect for vessels navigating everything from coastal shallows to offshore depths up to 900 meters.
Superior Dual-Frequency Performance
The M260 stands out with its innovative array of eight internal broadband ceramic elements. At 50 kHz, it delivers a generous 19-degree beam width, ideal for sweeping large areas and spotting schools of fish or structure from afar. Switch to 200 kHz, and the narrow 6-degree beam sharpens your view, revealing crisp fish arches and detailed bottom contours in shallower zones. This versatility ensures you never miss a target, whether you're marking bait balls at depth or honing in on trophy fish near the seabed.
Key Technical Highlights
- 50 kHz low frequency: 19° beam, exceptional for 900m (3000 ft) range
- 200 kHz high frequency: 6° beam for high-resolution imaging
- 9-pin connector with 33-foot cable for flexible routing
- Broadband design minimizes interference and maximizes clarity
Seamless In-Hull Installation for Fiberglass Hulls
Designed exclusively for in-hull mounting on fiberglass boats 8 meters (26 feet) and larger, the M260 eliminates the need for through-hull penetrations that can snag lines or suffer impact damage. Its rugged plastic/urethane housing pairs with a reliable yellow in-hull tank, ensuring a secure, bubble-free acoustic path through the hull. Installation is straightforward—fill the tank with a recommended liquid like propylene glycol, mount it flush, and connect the 9-pin cable to your compatible Simrad sounder. This setup thrives on sportfishing yachts, charter boats, and work vessels where reliability meets minimal maintenance.
Pro tip: For optimal performance, position the transducer forward of any prop wash or strakes, and ensure the hull is smooth and free of air pockets during setup. This transducer excels in real-world conditions, from choppy inlets to calm bluewater runs.
Enhanced Fishfinding and Navigation Capabilities
Pair the M260 with advanced Simrad systems to unlock next-level sonar intelligence. It shines brightest when integrated with sounder modules or multifunction displays featuring CHIRP technology, turning raw echoes into actionable insights. Anglers report tighter target separation and fewer false readings, while commercial skippers appreciate the consistent bottom tracking for safer navigation. Whether you're drift fishing for snapper or towing commercial gear, this transducer boosts your catch rates by painting a clearer picture of what's below.
Ideal Applications
- Sportfishing pursuits in depths exceeding 300 meters
- Commercial trawling and longlining operations
- Recreational cruising with reliable depth and obstacle detection
- Multi-species targeting across varied water columns
Built to Last with Proven Durability
Crafted for the demands of serious marine environments, the M260's robust construction withstands vibration, temperature swings, and constant submersion pressures. Backed by a solid warranty, it delivers years of trouble-free service, reducing downtime and keeping you on the water. Owners rave about its sensitivity in low-visibility conditions, where traditional transducers fall short.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Simrad M260 suitable for in-hull mounting?
The M260 features a plastic/urethane housing and yellow tank that creates a strong acoustic bond with fiberglass hulls, avoiding through-hull holes and potential drag or damage.
What's the maximum depth range of this transducer?
At 50 kHz, it reaches up to 900 meters (3000 feet), perfect for deep-water fishing, while 200 kHz excels in shallower areas for detailed views.
Is the M260 compatible with all Simrad displays?
It's optimized for use with SonarHub sounder modules and NSSevo3 multifunction displays, leveraging their advanced processing for superior sonar performance.
Can I use this on boats smaller than 8 meters?
It's recommended for vessels 8 meters (26 feet) and up to ensure proper signal transmission through thicker hulls and for best performance stability.
How does the dual-frequency setup benefit fishing?
The wide 19° beam at 50 kHz covers broad areas for finding fish, while the narrow 6° at 200 kHz provides sharp images for precise targeting and bottom detail.
What cable length does it come with?
It includes a 33-foot cable, offering ample length for clean routing from the transducer to your helm station.
Does it work with existing M260 tanks?
Yes, it fits seamlessly into previously installed M260 tanks, making upgrades straightforward without major modifications.
The dual-frequency M260 features an array of seven ceramic elements delivering 50 Kilohertz with a 19 Degree beam width, and a single 200 Kilohertz element with a 6 Degree beam width. 50 Kilohertz low-frequency operation offers a maximum operational depth of 900 Meter, while 200 Kilohertz high-frequency provides higher-resolution fish arches and bottom detail in shallower water.
