Raymarine Low Profile Bronze Depth Only

Discover Reliable Depth Sounding with the Raymarine Bronze Thru-Hull Transducer

Boat owners navigating challenging waters know the value of precise depth readings to avoid shallows, track underwater contours, and enhance safety during cruises or fishing trips. This low-profile bronze thru-hull transducer stands out for its streamlined design that minimizes drag while delivering consistent performance in demanding marine environments. Crafted from durable bronze, it's optimized for saltwater use, resisting corrosion and standing up to the rigors of offshore adventures.

Unlike bulkier alternatives, its low-profile shape hugs the hull closely, making it ideal for performance-oriented vessels where every bit of hydrodynamic efficiency counts. Anglers and recreational boaters alike appreciate how it provides clear, interference-free depth data, helping you focus on the thrill of the water rather than worrying about your electronics.

Engineered for Superior Marine Performance

Boasting a robust 600-watt power rating, this transducer punches through water columns to deliver accurate depth measurements even at higher speeds or in rough seas. Dual-frequency operation at 50 and 200 kHz offers versatility: the lower 50 kHz excels in deeper waters for bluewater exploration, while the 200 kHz sharpens resolution in shallower zones perfect for coastal fishing or inland waterways.

• Beam Width: Expansive 45-degree at 50 kHz for broad coverage in deep water, narrowing to 12 degrees at 200 kHz for detailed bottom scans.
• Deadrise Compatibility: Handles hull deadrises from 0 to 8 degrees, ensuring a flush mount on common fiberglass and wooden hulls.
• Cable Management: Equipped with a 30-foot cable and connector for straightforward integration into your existing setup.

High-performance materials mean it thrives where others falter—think prolonged exposure to UV rays, constant submersion, and the abrasive forces of debris-laden waters. Boaters report years of trouble-free service, attributing this to its rugged construction that prioritizes longevity over fleeting features.

Seamless Installation and Hull Compatibility

Installing a thru-hull transducer requires precision to avoid leaks or misalignment, but this model's straightforward thru-hull mounting simplifies the process. Select a spot forward of the propellers and keel, at least one-third of the hull length from the stern for optimal readings. Fairing blocks can further align it perpendicular to the waterline, compensating for hull shape.

Best suited for fiberglass and wooden hulls, it bonds securely with marine sealants, creating a watertight fit. For boats with curved bottoms, its forgiving deadrise range prevents signal distortion. Pro tip: During installation, mix anti-fouling paint into the sealant to deter marine growth, extending the transducer's clarity over time.

Pair it with compatible fishfinders and sounders from legacy Raymarine lineups, ensuring your chartplotter or display receives reliable data without compatibility headaches.

Maximize Your Boating Experience

Imagine threading through narrow channels with confidence or marking prime fishing spots thanks to pinpoint depth accuracy. This transducer cuts through thermoclines and suspended particles better than entry-level plastic models, providing the edge in tournament fishing or family outings. Its bronze housing not only withstands electrolysis in saline conditions but also maintains signal integrity longer than aluminum counterparts.

Regular maintenance is key: After each season, inspect for growth and gently clean with a soft brush and mild solution. Avoid high-pressure washers to preserve the ceramic face. With proper care, it becomes a trusted companion for countless voyages.
