Furuno 165T-50/200-SS260 DFF3D Thru-Hull Combo Transducer
Furuno 165T-50/200-SS260 DFF3D Thru-Hull Combo Transducer — Product description
Unlock Superior Underwater Visibility with the Ultimate Combo Transducer
Imagine gliding through open waters with crystal-clear 3D sonar images revealing fish schools, underwater structures, and bottom contours like never before. The Furuno 165T-50/200-SS260 stands out as a game-changer for serious anglers and navigators, blending advanced multi-beam sonar capabilities with traditional dual-frequency sounder performance in one sleek, space-saving package. Crafted from durable stainless steel, this thru-hull transducer mounts seamlessly below the waterline, delivering reliable data even in rough seas.
What sets it apart? It eliminates the hassle and cost of dual installations by integrating DFF3D elements at 165 kHz alongside proven 50/200 kHz sounder tech. Paired with built-in motion and temperature sensors, it provides stabilized, real-time environmental insights—perfect for optimizing your catch or plotting safe passages. Whether you're chasing trophy fish offshore or surveying coastal reefs, this transducer enhances your Furuno display's potential without compromising hull integrity or performance.
Engineered for Peak Performance and Versatility
Robust Construction Meets High-Speed Capability
Built with a corrosion-resistant stainless steel housing and included high-speed fairing block, it cuts through water efficiently at planing speeds. For keeled vessels, flush mounting skips the fairing altogether, streamlining your setup. The design withstands the harshest marine environments, from saltwater spray to debris impacts.
Advanced Sonar Integration
- Multi-Beam DFF3D Sonar: Operates at 165 kHz for stunning 3D forward-facing views, spotting targets up to hundreds of feet ahead.
- Dual-Frequency Sounder: 1kW power at 50 kHz (20° beam) for deep-water scanning and 200 kHz (6° beam) for high-resolution shallow details—mirroring top-tier Airmar performance.
- Sensor Suite: Integrated motion stabilization counters boat roll and pitch for accurate readings; water temperature probe tracks thermoclines where fish congregate.
Plug-and-Play Connectivity
Features 12-meter cables: a 10-pin for sounder modules, 7-pin for DFF3D, and a convenient pigtail. Ideal for TZtouch systems, it syncs effortlessly with DFF1 or DFF3D processors, turning your helm into a sonar command center.
Effortless Installation for Professional Results
Selecting the right thru-hull location is key—aim for 1/3 amidships, forward of the prop, at least 300mm from the keel line to avoid turbulence. Drill a precise 60mm hole, bed the transducer in sealant, and secure with the nut. The fairing block angles it optimally (12-18° depending on deadrise), ensuring maximum signal strength. Pro tip: Test in calm water post-install to calibrate motion sensors and verify bottom lock at various speeds. Regular cleaning of the face prevents marine growth, maintaining peak sensitivity season after season.
Ideal Applications Across Marine Adventures
For offshore sportfishing, the wide 50 kHz beam excels at marking distant wrecks teeming with pelagics, while 200 kHz pinpoints bait balls. Cruisers benefit from 3D bottom discrimination, identifying hard structure from soft mud for anchoring confidence. Dive boat operators leverage temp data for current predictions, and surveyors appreciate motion-compensated charts for accurate hydrographic mapping. Its power and precision scale from 25-foot center consoles to 60-foot yachts.
Long-Lasting Reliability with Simple Upkeep
Stainless steel shrugs off electrolysis and UV exposure, but inspect cables annually for chafe. Wipe the transducer face with a soft cloth and mild soap after use in algae-heavy waters. In cold climates, winterize by drying internals to prevent freeze damage. With proper care, expect years of unwavering performance, outlasting lesser composites in demanding conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What frequencies does the 165T-50/200-SS260 support?
