Furuno SS60 Stainless Steel Thru-Hull 20° Tilt, 50/200, 10-Pin

Upgrade your boat's sonar system with a transducer designed for precision in challenging hull designs. This stainless steel thru-hull model features a 20-degree tilted element, perfectly suited for vessels with hull deadrises between 16 and 24 degrees. By angling the ceramic element inside the durable housing, it ensures optimal sound wave transmission straight down into the water, regardless of your boat's hull shape. The integrated arrow on the housing top guides installation, pointing toward the keel for foolproof setup on either port or starboard side.

Why This Thru-Hull Transducer Stands Out for Serious Boaters

Boat owners with V-hulled or planing hulls often struggle with standard flush-mount transducers that don't account for the hull's natural angle. This unit solves that by compensating for deadrise, delivering clearer fish arches, sharper bottom contours, and accurate water temperature readings. Whether you're chasing trophy fish in deep offshore waters or navigating shallow bays, the dual-frequency setup provides versatility: a wide beam for scanning large areas and a narrow beam for pinpoint detail.

Built from robust stainless steel, it withstands harsh marine environments, including saltwater exposure and constant hull vibrations. The 10-pin connector pairs seamlessly with compatible marine electronics, and the generous cable length gives you flexibility during routing through bulkheads and consoles.

Key Performance Highlights

• Dual 50/200 kHz frequencies for all-depth coverage
• 45-degree beam at 50 kHz for broad shallow-water scans; 12-degree at 200 kHz for deep, precise targeting
• 600-watt power handling for strong signal return even in rough conditions
• Integrated temperature sensor for real-time water data
• Flush thru-hull mount minimizes drag and turbulence

Real-World Benefits for Fishing and Navigation

Imagine gliding through coastal waters, your display revealing schools of baitfish hugging structure while surface temp helps predict bites. Anglers report fewer false readings and better target separation compared to non-tilted models on angled hulls. For navigators, the reliable depth up to 1,200 feet aids in safe passage over reefs or wrecks. Its easy installation means less time in the yard and more on the water, with a straightforward thru-hull fit that pros and DIYers alike appreciate.

Installation Tips for Peak Performance

Position the transducer forward of prop wash and straddle the centerline for balanced coverage. Drill a clean hole matching the hull's curve, bed the unit with marine sealant, and secure the nut from inside. Route the cable away from electrical noise sources like engines. Test in calm water post-install to verify clear bottom lock and temp accuracy. This setup maximizes echo return, reducing air bubbles that plague poorly angled mounts.
