Simrad B60 0 Deg 50/200KHZ Black 9-Pin Thru Hull with 10m Cable
Simrad B60 0 Deg 50/200KHZ Black 9-Pin Thru Hull with 10m Cable — Product description
Upgrade your vessel's sonar capabilities with this robust thru-hull transducer designed for precise depth tracking and water temperature monitoring. Tailored for smaller boats like center-consoles and trailered crafts up to 25 feet, it delivers reliable performance without compromising hydrodynamics. Its bronze construction withstands harsh marine environments, while the low-profile design minimizes drag for smoother rides.
Standout Performance Features
- Dual-Frequency Power: Operates at 50 kHz with a broad 45° beam for exceptional coverage in deeper waters up to 1,200 feet, and 200 kHz with a focused 12° beam for detailed readings down to 700 feet—ideal for varied fishing depths and navigation needs.
- 600W Output: Provides strong signal returns for clearer echoes, ensuring accurate depth data even in choppy conditions.
- Integrated Temperature Sensor: Tracks water temps in real-time, helping anglers target species or monitor environmental changes.
- Sleek Bronze Housing: Corrosion-resistant and built to last, with just a 5 mm protrusion below the hull to maintain your boat's speed and efficiency.
- 9-Pin Connection with 10m Cable: Simplifies integration with Simrad fishfinders and chartplotters, offering ample length for flexible routing.
Why Boaters Trust This Transducer
Imagine gliding through coastal waters, spotting structure and fish with pinpoint accuracy, all while your boat handles like it's unencumbered. This unit excels in fiberglass or wooden hulls with minimal deadrise (0°-7°), making it a go-to for weekend warriors and serious offshore enthusiasts. The tilted element optimizes beam angles for hull-mounted installs, reducing dead zones and enhancing bottom tracking.
Unlike bulky alternatives, its compact form fits tight transom areas, and the urethane acoustic window ensures bubble-free transmission for consistent results. Perfect for trailering—no worries about height clearance at ramps or storage. Anglers report crisper fish arches and sharper contour maps, turning average outings into trophy hunts.
Effortless Installation Tips
Prep your hull with a clean 60 mm (2-3/8") hole, seal with marine-grade sealant, and secure using the included hardware. Position it forward of the propeller and away from strakes for optimal water flow. The 0° tilt suits flat-bottomed designs, but always fair it to match your hull's contour. Test in shallow water post-install to calibrate and confirm no air entrainment.
- Route the 10m cable away from electrical noise sources for interference-free operation.
- Use a fairing block on steeper deadrises to align the transducer face perpendicular to the waterline.
- Regularly inspect the bronze housing for marine growth to sustain peak sensitivity.
Real-World Applications
From inshore reef hunting with the wide 50 kHz beam to pinpointing wrecks at 200 kHz, this transducer shines in diverse scenarios. Trailered bass boats benefit from its low drag during high-speed runs, while center-consoles thrive on its temp data for bait selection. It's a staple for safety-conscious skippers navigating unmarked shallows, providing depths you can rely on when stakes are high.
Longevity and Care
At 1.4 kg, it's lightweight yet durable. Clean the face gently with a soft brush and mild soap after saltwater exposure. Avoid high-pressure washers to protect the urethane lens. Annual checks ensure seals remain watertight, extending service life across seasons.
Frequently Asked Questions
What hull types work best with this thru-hull transducer?
It's optimized for fiberglass or wooden hulls with 0°-7° deadrise, making it suitable for planing hulls like center-consoles.
How deep can it detect at 50 kHz and 200 kHz?
Expect up to 1,200 feet at 50 kHz with a 45° beam, and 700 feet at 200 kHz with a 12° beam, depending on conditions.
Does it affect boat speed or handling?
No—its low 5 mm protrusion ensures negligible drag, preserving performance for trailered or high-speed boats.
