Furuno CA200B-5 Bronze Thru-Hull Transducer, 1kW (No Plug)

Discover Superior Underwater Clarity with the Furuno CA200B-5

Imagine gliding through coastal waters or chasing trophy fish in bays where every detail matters. The Furuno CA200B-5 bronze thru-hull transducer delivers pinpoint accuracy with its high-output 1kW power and razor-sharp 200 kHz frequency. Designed for serious anglers and navigators who demand reliability, this transducer mounts seamlessly through your hull, providing crystal-clear sonar returns that help you spot structure, bait schools, and elusive targets with ease.

Unlike basic transducers that blur distant objects, the CA200B-5's tight 8.5-degree beam angle cuts through water like a laser, offering exceptional target separation. Whether you're marking wrecks or tracking bottom contours, it transforms your fishfinder into a precision tool for confident decision-making on the water.

Key Features Tailored for Real-World Marine Adventures

• High-Power 1kW Output: Punches through water to reveal depths up to hundreds of feet, ideal for inshore and offshore fishing where power matters.
• 200 kHz Single Frequency: Optimized for high-resolution imaging in shallow to mid-range depths, perfect for bays, rivers, and coastal zones.
• Narrow 8.5-Degree Beam: Provides focused coverage for superior fish arching and structure detail, minimizing interference from boat wakes or thermoclines.
• Rugged Bronze Construction: Corrosion-resistant alloy withstands harsh saltwater environments, ensuring long-term performance without frequent replacements.
• Thru-Hull Mounting: Flush installation reduces drag and noise, maintaining your vessel's sleek lines and hydrodynamic efficiency.
• 10-Meter Cable Length: Offers flexible routing to your display unit, simplifying installations on boats of various sizes.

Weighing just 5.5 pounds, it's straightforward to handle during setup, yet built to endure the rigors of daily use on trailered or moored vessels.

Why Boaters Trust the CA200B-5 for Peak Performance

This transducer shines in scenarios where precision trumps broad coverage. Its narrow beam excels at identifying individual fish amid schools or pinpointing drop-offs along ledges—crucial for jigging or trolling tactics. Bronze material bonds reliably with fiberglass hulls, preventing leaks and delivering consistent readings even in choppy conditions.

Users report fewer false echoes compared to wider-beam alternatives, leading to more time fishing and less guesswork. Pair it with compatible Furuno sounders, and you'll unlock advanced features like bottom discrimination to differentiate sand from mud or rock.

Effortless Installation and Maintenance Tips

Thru-hull transducers like the CA200B-5 require careful placement forward of the prop and keel for optimal performance. Aim for a deadrise angle match to keep the face perpendicular to the waterline— this maximizes beam efficiency and minimizes air bubbles.

With no pre-attached plug, you have full control over wiring. Use marine-grade heat-shrink connectors for a waterproof seal, and route the 10-meter cable away from engines to avoid interference. For certain setups, additional mounting hardware ensures secure fitment—always verify compatibility with your hull type.

Maintenance is simple: Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and inspect the ceramic element annually. This proactive care keeps readings sharp season after season.

Perfect for Your Next Fishing Expedition

From center-console bay boats to larger offshore cruisers, the CA200B-5 elevates your sonar game. It's the go-to choice for captains who value depth penetration and detail over gimmicks, helping you fill the livewell faster and navigate safely.
