Lowrance B60-12, 12° Tilted Element™ Transducer — Product description

600 W

The B60 is a 600 W, 50/200 kHz transducer that integrates Airmar's popular, Tilted Element feature. This Tilted Element transducer has the ceramic element fixed at either a 20° or 12° angle within the housing. When the transducer is installed almost flush to the hull, the tilt of the element corrects for the hull deadrise angle. By orienting the beam directly down, it ensures maximum echo returns to the transducer for more-accurate depth readings.

Available in two Tilted Element models:

  • Fixed 20° tilted version for 16 to 24° hull deadrise angles
  • Fixed 12° tilted version for 8 to 15° hull deadrise angles


Discover the precision that serious anglers and boaters rely on with the Lowrance B60-12 tilted element transducer. Engineered for vessels with 8° to 15° deadrise hulls, this bronze thru-hull powerhouse delivers a perfectly vertical beam without the hassle of a fairing block. Say goodbye to skewed readings and hello to spot-on depth information that helps you navigate tricky waters or pinpoint fish with confidence.

Seamless Performance in Real-World Conditions

The secret lies in its innovative tilted ceramic element, pre-angled at 12° inside the durable bronze housing. This built-in compensation ensures your sonar beam stays perpendicular to the water surface, even on hulls with moderate deadrise. The result? Crystal-clear echo returns for reliable depth tracking down to impressive levels, whether you're cruising coastal waters or chasing game fish offshore.

With dual-frequency operation at 50 kHz and 200 kHz, it adapts effortlessly to your needs—wide coverage for bottom structure at lower frequencies, or sharper detail for bait schools at higher ones. The 600W RMS power handling strikes the ideal balance for mid-performance setups, punching through thermoclines without overwhelming smaller chartplotters.

Built Tough for Marine Demands

Crafted from high-quality bronze, the B60-12 withstands the corrosive punch of saltwater environments while maintaining acoustic integrity over time. Its low-profile design protrudes just 5 mm (3/16 inch) beyond the hull, slashing drag to keep your boat planing efficiently. Temperature sensing is included, so you can monitor water conditions alongside depth for smarter fishing decisions.

  • Frequency Flexibility: 50/200 kHz for versatile scanning
  • Power Output: 600W RMS—strong signal without excess
  • Material Durability: Bronze construction for longevity
  • Hull Compatibility: Optimized for 8°-15° deadrise angles
  • Streamlined Install: No fairing needed, minimal hull protrusion

Effortless Installation and Everyday Reliability

Installing a thru-hull transducer can be straightforward when you choose the right fit. The B60-12 mounts cleanly with standard tools, and its tilted design eliminates the need for custom fairings that add complexity and cost. Once in place, it provides consistent performance across varying speeds and sea states, from trolling at low RPMs to planing at highway speeds on the water.

Boaters praise its ability to cut through turbulence for steady bottom tracking, making it a favorite for tournament anglers who can't afford signal dropouts. Pair it with your existing sonar setup, and you'll notice tighter target separation and fewer false readings compared to flush-mount alternatives.

Why It Stands Out for Anglers and Navigators

In a world of flat transducers that demand fairings or compromise on beam angle, the B60-12 offers plug-and-play perfection. It's not just about depth—it's about gaining an edge in structure scanning, wreck fishing, or simply safely threading shallow bays. Mid-performance doesn't mean mid-results; this unit delivers pro-level clarity in an accessible package.

Regular maintenance keeps it humming: rinse after saltwater exposure, check cable connections seasonally, and inspect the housing for marine growth. With proper care, expect years of faithful service enhancing your on-water adventures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hull deadrise angles is the Lowrance B60-12 designed for?

It's optimized for boats with 8° to 15° deadrise angles, providing built-in compensation for a vertical sonar beam.

Does the B60-12 require a fairing block for installation?

No, the 12° tilted element inside the housing eliminates the need for a fairing, simplifying setup and reducing drag.

What frequencies does this transducer support?

It operates at 50 kHz and 200 kHz, offering wide-area coverage or high-definition detail as needed.

Is the B60-12 suitable for saltwater use?

Yes, its bronze construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for marine environments.

How much does the transducer protrude from the hull?

Only 5 mm (3/16 inch), ensuring minimal hydrodynamic drag for better fuel efficiency and speed.

What additional features does it offer besides depth?

It includes water temperature sensing, helping with fish behavior analysis and navigation planning.

Can it handle high boat speeds?

Absolutely, its design maintains clear readings across a range of speeds, from trolling to planing.

B60 Tilted Element™ 12°

12° tilted version is designed for 8° - 15° deadrise angles

The bronze B60-12° provide a vertical beam without a fairing. Inside the housing, the ceramic element is tilted to provide built-in deadrise compensation. The resulting vertical beam provides excellent echo returns for more accurate depth readings. The nearly flush housing minimizes drag with only 5 mm (3/16") extending outside of the hull.
