Navico XSONIC SS60 Stainless Steel 20° Tilt Thru-Hull Depth/Temp Transducer - 9-Pin - 10M Cable

Discover the precision and reliability that serious boaters demand with this robust stainless steel thru-hull transducer designed for optimal performance on vessels with moderate deadrise hulls. Engineered with a 20-degree tilt, it compensates seamlessly for hull angles between 16 and 24 degrees, ensuring crystal-clear sonar returns without the need for additional adjustments. Whether you're navigating shallow bays or probing depths up to 3,000 feet, this dual-frequency powerhouse at 50 kHz and 200 kHz delivers exceptional bottom tracking and target separation, making it a go-to choice for anglers chasing trophy fish or captains monitoring underwater terrain.

Key Advantages for Everyday Boating Adventures

Built tough from marine-grade stainless steel, this low-profile transducer protrudes just 5mm beyond the hull, slashing drag and maintaining your boat's sleek lines for better fuel efficiency and speed. The integrated temperature sensor provides real-time water temp data, crucial for locating baitfish schools or understanding thermoclines that influence fish behavior. Its 600-watt power handling punches through murky water and delivers sharp images even in challenging conditions, outperforming many competitors in shallow-water detail at 200 kHz while locking onto structure at 50 kHz.

Seamless Integration and Compatibility

Featuring a straightforward 9-pin connector and 33-foot cable, installation is a breeze for DIY enthusiasts or pros alike. It pairs effortlessly with popular chartplotter ecosystems, supporting plug-and-play setup that gets you back on the water faster. Ideal for smaller sportfishing boats up to 25 feet, it thrives in both freshwater and saltwater environments, resisting corrosion and standing up to the rigors of frequent use.

Installation Insights for Peak Performance

Mounting a thru-hull transducer like this one requires careful hull selection—aim for a spot forward of the propellers, away from strakes or through-hulls that could interfere with the beam. Drill precisely, seal with marine sealant, and angle it per your hull's deadrise for dead-on readings. Pro tip: Test in shallow water post-install to fine-tune and verify bottom lock. Regular cleaning of the face keeps acoustics sharp, especially in algae-prone areas.

Why Boaters Trust This Transducer for Long-Term Reliability

In the world of marine electronics, consistency matters. This model's tilted ceramic element fights distortion from hull deadrise, yielding more reliable depth alarms and fish arches. Anglers report spotting wrecks and drop-offs with ease, while the temp readout helps dial in lure choices based on species preferences. Its stainless construction laughs off UV exposure and biofouling, promising seasons of service without constant upkeep.
