Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the B275LHW different from standard CHIRP transducers?
The B275LHW features wide-beam technology that provides over six times the underwater coverage of standard high-frequency CHIRP transducers, with a constant 25° beamwidth across the entire high-frequency range of 150-250kHz.
What is the maximum depth capability of this transducer?
The B275LHW can effectively operate at depths up to 3,000 feet (914 meters), making it suitable for deep-sea fishing and professional marine applications.
Does this transducer include a connector?
The standard B275LHW model comes with bare wire connections (no connector). A 12-pin connector version (B275LHW-12P) is also available for direct connection to compatible Furuno units.
What type of vessels is this transducer recommended for?
The B275LHW is recommended for boats 25 feet and larger with fiberglass or wooden hulls. The bronze construction and fairing block design make it ideal for larger recreational and commercial vessels.
Can this transducer be used with NavNet systems?
Yes, when paired with compatible sounder modules like the DFF1-UHD, the B275LHW can be integrated with NavNet TZtouch3 systems for comprehensive navigation and fish-finding capabilities.
