Raymarine M260 1kW In-Hull Product Description
Discover the freedom of superior fishfinding without compromising your boat's hull integrity. The Raymarine M260 1kW in-hull transducer redefines performance for anglers who demand crystal-clear sonar images from inside the vessel. Perfect for fiberglass hulls, this powerhouse shoots signals through solid material, delivering pinpoint accuracy on fish, structure, and bottom contour—even at speeds over 30 knots. Say goodbye to drilling holes, dealing with cavitation, or turbulent flow noise that plagues external mounts.
Exceptional Sonar Clarity and Target Separation
Engineered with a dedicated 200 kHz element spanning an impressive 88mm (3.5-inch) ceramic disc, the M260 captures fine details in the water column, making it ideal for spotting bait schools and marking individual fish near wrecks or drop-offs. Complementing this is a seven-element 50 kHz array that punches through to depths up to 2,500 feet, ensuring you never miss big game in deep water. Narrow beam angles—19 degrees at 50 kHz and 6 degrees at 200 kHz—provide razor-sharp separation, helping you distinguish fish from bottom clutter effortlessly.
Boat speed? No problem. This transducer maintains reliable bottom tracking beyond 30 knots, thanks to its in-hull positioning that sidesteps propeller wash and hull turbulence. Whether you're trolling offshore or scanning shelves at planing speeds, expect consistent, high-definition returns.
Effortless Installation for Seamless Hull Preservation
Installation boils down to a few straightforward steps: select a flat interior hull spot (compatible with 0-30 degree deadrises), fill the urethane tank with a non-foaming liquid like oil or antifreeze, secure it in place, and connect the 30-foot cable. No through-hull fittings, no wet work, and a pristine exterior that boosts resale value and reduces drag. It's a game-changer for trailered boats or refits where minimizing modifications is key.
- Clean, drill-free setup preserves hull strength and aesthetics
- Rugged urethane housing withstands vibration and flex
- Operates flawlessly up to 1kW power for compatibility with pro-grade sounders

Perfect Match for Serious Fishing Setups
Pair this transducer with high-end digital sounder modules for optimal results. It's tailored for systems craving detailed, noise-free sonar in demanding environments like tournament fishing or offshore charters. The in-hull design shines on planing hulls where external transducers falter, offering reliability that keeps you focused on the hunt rather than maintenance.
Ideal Applications
- Deep-water pelagics and reef fishing
- High-speed bottom scanning over structure
- Trailered sportfishers avoiding permanent mods
- Center console and express cruisers with fiberglass hulls
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Raymarine M260 work on hulls steeper than 30 degrees?
No, it's optimized for deadrises from 0 to 30 degrees. For steeper angles, consider alternative mounting solutions to ensure proper signal transmission.
What liquid should I use to fill the M260 tank?
Use a non-foaming, non-corrosive liquid like marine propylene glycol, vegetable oil, or dedicated transducer oil. Avoid water-based mixes to prevent freezing or signal distortion.
Does the M260 perform well at high boat speeds?
Absolutely—reliable bottom lock and target tracking up to and beyond 30 knots, free from cavitation issues common in thru-hull or transom mounts.
Is this transducer suitable for aluminum or wooden boats?
It's designed exclusively for solid fiberglass hulls. Metals and woods interfere with signal propagation.
How does the narrow beam benefit fishing?
Narrow beams deliver superior resolution and fish ID, especially near the bottom, reducing clutter and highlighting targets in complex terrain like wrecks or ledges.
What's the advantage over a thru-hull transducer?
No hull penetration means easier install, lower drag, and immunity to growth or damage. Plus, consistent performance regardless of hull speed or conditions.
The M260 in-hull transducer offers all-out fishfinding performance and simple installation. Optimal fishfinder performance no longer requires drilling a hole in the hull! The M260 is able to transmit and receive through solid fiberglass, displaying sharp detailed images. Track the bottom at speeds exceeding 30 knots (34 MPH.) Installation simply requires adhering the tank to the inside of the vessel, leaving a clean and smooth hull exterior. It’s true! Excellent performance can be achieved from an in-hull mounted transducer. The M260 is designed with a 200 Kilohertz element, which provides performance resulting in higher-resolution without sacrificing sensitivity. Combined with a seven-element 50 Kilohertz array, this in-hull has excellent deep-water detection. Because the M260 has narrow beams at both frequencies, separation of individual targets and the ability to distinguish between fish and the bottom makes finding fish easy.
