Raymarine TM265LM Transom Mount Chirp Transducer

Upgrade your boat's sonar capabilities with a transducer that delivers crystal-clear underwater images even in the toughest conditions. Designed for serious anglers and offshore adventurers, this transom-mount option combines dual-channel CHIRP technology to reveal fish-holding structures, bait schools, and bottom contours like never before. Whether you're chasing trophy species in deep water or navigating shallow wrecks, it provides the precision and reliability you need to make every trip count.

Superior CHIRP Performance for Deeper Insights

The beauty of this transducer lies in its dual-frequency CHIRP operation, covering low and medium bands that excel at different depths and environments. In low-frequency mode, it punches through water to scan vast areas and pinpoint large game fish down to thousands of feet. Switch to medium frequency for sharper images of mid-range targets, like suspended schools or wrecks, with exceptional target separation that helps you distinguish individual fish from thermoclines or debris.

• Wide Coverage: Optimized beams sweep broad swaths underwater, maximizing your chances of spotting action.
• High Resolution: Advanced signal processing minimizes noise, delivering clean, detailed returns even at high boat speeds.
• Rugged Construction: Durable plastic housing withstands constant exposure to saltwater, UV rays, and impacts.

Effortless Transom Mounting for Quick Setup

Installing on your transom is straightforward, ensuring minimal downtime before your next outing. Position it just right—typically 1/3 from the stern along the hull's keel line—for optimal water flow and bubble-free readings. Use stainless steel hardware to secure it firmly, and route the cable cleanly to avoid snags. Pro tip: Deadrise angle compensation keeps the beam level, preventing skewed bottom tracks on planing hulls.

Key Installation Considerations

1. Ensure the mounting surface is smooth and fair; sand if needed for flush contact.
2. Test at various speeds post-install to fine-tune angle and height, eliminating air entrainment.
3. Seal all holes with marine-grade sealant to prevent leaks.

Versatile Compatibility Across Systems

Seamlessly integrates with a range of marine electronics, supporting plug-and-play connectivity for quick swaps or upgrades. It thrives in setups demanding high-performance sonar, from multi-function displays to dedicated fishfinders, unlocking features like bottom discrimination and water column analysis.

Real-World Applications for Anglers

Offshore trolling for tuna? Its low CHIRP slices through downriggers and spreads. Inshore wreck fishing? Medium CHIRP highlights sheepshead and snapper hugging structure. Even freshwater trophy hunters benefit from its sensitivity on bass boats. Users rave about how it transforms vague "fish arches" into identifiable targets, boosting hook-up ratios and saving fuel on fruitless searches.
