Navico B260 Bronze Thru Hull Product Description
1 kW
The performance of Airmar's "1 kW, 260 family" of transducers is legendary. The combination of power and sensitivity has made this the high-performing transducer of choice with conventional fishfinders. Operating at 50 and 200 kHz, the narrow, 6° beam at 200 kHz provides excellent target resolution and crisp images of fish holding tight to wrecks and reefs. The 50 kHz is excellent at deep-water detection, and its wide, 19° beam yields broad coverage under the boat.
The thru-hull, B260 model has a bronze housing and is also available in stainless steel (SS260) for installation in metal hulls. Installed with the included, custom-fitting, High-performance Fairing, the B260 gives excellent results at speeds up to 30 knots (34 MPH).
Upgrade your sonar game with the B260 Bronze Thru-Hull transducer, a powerhouse designed for serious anglers chasing trophy fish in deep waters or tight to structure. This robust unit delivers crystal-clear images across a wide range of depths, turning murky bottoms into detailed maps that reveal hidden fish and underwater features. Whether you're targeting bottom-dwellers or scanning vast blue water expanses, its advanced broadband technology ensures you never miss the action.
Standout Features for Superior Performance
- Dual-Frequency Operation: Seamlessly switches between 50 kHz for broad coverage in deep water and 200 kHz for pinpoint precision in shallower zones.
- High-Power Output: Rated at 1 kW RMS, providing the muscle needed for maximum penetration and sensitivity.
- Bronze Construction: Corrosion-resistant housing built to withstand harsh marine environments, ideal for saltwater adventures.
- Integrated Depth and Temperature Sensing: Real-time data to help you make informed decisions on lure depth and fish behavior.
- Beam Angles Optimized for Versatility: A wide 19-degree beam at 50 kHz covers more ground, while the narrow 6-degree at 200 kHz sharpens focus on structure.
- 7-Pin Blue Connector: Plug-and-play simplicity with popular marine electronics.
- High-Speed Fairing Block Included: Reduces drag and maintains accuracy even at planing speeds up to 30 knots.
Why This Transducer Elevates Your Fishing Experience
The magic lies in its low-profile ceramic design, which minimizes ringing for cleaner returns—perfect for spotting fish hugging the bottom or weeds. At 50 kHz, the seven-element array paints expansive coverage, ideal for offshore trolling or searching vast reefs. Flip to 200 kHz, and the tight beam slices through clutter, delivering the sharp resolution bass anglers crave near drop-offs and points.
Anglers report consistently spotting schools others miss, thanks to the broadband ceramics that handle varied bottom types—from soft mud to hard rock—with ease. It's not just about seeing more; it's about interpreting signals faster for quicker hooksets.
Effortless Installation for Long-Lasting Results
Mounting a thru-hull like this one is straightforward but rewards attention to detail. Select a spot forward of the propeller, amidships, where the hull is flattest for optimal beam spread. Drill carefully, bed the unit in marine sealant, and secure the fairing block to align with your boat's deadrise angle. This setup ensures bubble-free operation and peak performance at all speeds.
Pro tip: For fiberglass hulls, use a hole saw sized for a snug fit, and always test-fire the system post-install to verify clear pings.
Keep It Performing Like New
Routine care extends its lifespan. After every trip, rinse with fresh water to flush salt. Inspect the face for growth—lightly scrub with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid high-pressure washers that could damage the ceramics. Winterize by storing dry if pulling the boat. With proper upkeep, expect years of reliable service.
Seamless Integration with Top Systems
Engineered for plug-and-play with displays from leading brands like Lowrance HDS series and Simrad NSE series. Its standard connector mates effortlessly, unlocking full dual-frequency potential without adapters in most setups.
Frequently Asked Questions
The B260 will enhance fish detection on virtually all of today's
fish finders. High-performance has been redefined with its
Broadband Ceramic Technology. The narrow, 6 degree beam 200 kHz
ceramic will give you excellent resolution and crisp image detail
needed for bottom fishing. The B260's low ringing is perfect for
finding fish holding tight to the bottom and other structure.
The seven-element 50 kHz array has a wider 19 degree beam for
deeper blue-water fishing. The outcome at both frequencies
is excellent resolution and crisp image detail where it's needed
most.
Compatible with Lowrance HDS Series and Simrad NSE Series Multifunction Display Units.
