Raymarine M265LH 1kW Urethane In-Hull Transducer w/In-Hull Mounting Kit Product Description
Raymarine M265LH 1kW Dual-Frequency CHIRP In-Hull Transducer with Mounting Kit (A80012)
Experience professional-grade fish finding without compromising your hull integrity. The Raymarine M265LH combines advanced CHIRP technology with convenient in-hull installation, delivering exceptional underwater imaging performance for serious anglers who demand both superior fish finding capabilities and non-invasive mounting solutions. Perfect for fiberglass hulls with deadrise angles up to 30 degrees.
Advanced Dual-Frequency CHIRP Technology
The M265LH features dual-frequency CHIRP operation spanning an impressive 117kHz total range, providing unmatched target separation and fish identification capabilities. The sophisticated eight-ceramic element array delivers professional-grade sonar performance across both frequency ranges for comprehensive underwater coverage.
Dual-Frequency Performance Specifications
- Low Frequency (42-65 kHz): Deep-water performance with 16-25 degree beam width for maximum depth penetration up to 3,000 feet
- High Frequency (130-210 kHz): Shallow-water precision with 6-10 degree beam width for detailed bottom structure up to 1,000 feet
- 1000W Power Output: Maximum signal strength for deep-water applications and challenging conditions
- Eight-Element Ceramic Array: Superior signal processing and target discrimination
Revolutionary In-Hull Installation
The M265LH eliminates the need for through-hull drilling while maintaining professional-grade performance. The included in-hull mounting kit accommodates deadrise angles from 0° to 30°, making it compatible with a wide range of fiberglass hull designs. This installation method is ideal for trailered boats, lifted vessels, or owners who prefer not to modify their hull.
Species-Specific Frequency Optimization
The M265LH's frequency range is specifically calibrated for optimal detection of various species:
- 60 kHz: Exceptional Bluefin Tuna detection and tracking
- 133 kHz: Superior squid identification and bait ball imaging
- 175 kHz: Enhanced cod and bottom fish discrimination
- Variable CHIRP Range: Continuous frequency adjustment for specific fishing conditions

Professional Installation Considerations
While DIY installation is possible, professional installation ensures optimal performance and proper acoustic coupling. The transducer must be positioned in a location with solid fiberglass (avoid cored areas) and proper orientation to the deadrise angle for maximum effectiveness.
Maintenance & Care
The M265LH requires minimal maintenance due to its in-hull mounting. Periodic inspection of the mounting tank for proper urethane coupling and cable connections ensures long-term reliability. The transducer face should remain clean and free of air bubbles for optimal performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this transducer be installed in any fiberglass hull?
A: The M265LH accommodates deadrise angles from 0° to 30°, making it compatible with most fiberglass hull designs. Avoid installation over cored areas - solid fiberglass is required for proper signal transmission.
Q: How does in-hull performance compare to through-hull transducers?
A: Modern in-hull transducers like the M265LH provide excellent performance, typically within 10-15% of through-hull units when properly installed. The convenience and hull integrity benefits often outweigh minor performance differences.
Q: What depth performance can I expect?
A: The M265LH provides up to 3,000-foot depth capability on low frequency and 1,000 feet on high frequency, depending on water conditions, bottom type, and connected sonar system power settings.
Q: Is professional installation required?
A: While not required, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper placement, deadrise angle accommodation, and acoustic coupling for optimal performance.
Q: Can I use this transducer for both shallow and deep water fishing?
A: Yes, the dual-frequency design provides excellent shallow water resolution with high frequency (130-210 kHz) and superior deep-water penetration with low frequency (42-65 kHz).
Q: What Raymarine units are compatible with this transducer?
A: The M265LH connects to Raymarine CP450C, CP470, CP570 sonar modules and CHIRP-capable Axiom and Element series displays via the included cable.
Q: How long does the installation process take?
A: Professional installation typically takes 2-4 hours depending on hull access and complexity. The urethane compound requires 24-48 hours to fully cure before use.
Q: What warranty coverage is provided?
A: Raymarine provides a 2-year limited warranty covering materials and workmanship defects under normal marine use conditions.
The M265 is an outstanding in-hull option with 8 internal ceramics and up to 117 Kilohertz of total CHIRP range. The in-hull installation eliminates the need to drill any holes in the hull, while accommodating a large range of dead rise angles. The high frequency provides excellent shallow water resolution. The transducer is installed in the included tank which is cut to the boat’s dead rise angle and affixed inside the hull. When the transducer is placed inside the tank, it is properly oriented for optimal performance. The M265 is a popular choice for customers not wanting to drill a hole in their hull and for trailered or lifted boats.
