Discover the advantages of seamless underwater detection with the Raymarine B60-20 tilted element transducer, a game-changer for anglers chasing fish in coastal waters or expansive lakes. This bronze thru-hull design stands out by automatically adjusting to your boat's hull angle, ensuring crystal-clear sonar returns without the hassle of custom fairing blocks. Whether you're drifting over reefs, slow-trolling for trophy catches, or scanning structure in medium depths, its dual-frequency setup delivers reliable performance that keeps you ahead of the game.

Why Choose the Tilted Element Design?

The magic lies in its 20-degree tilted ceramic element, perfectly suited for hulls with 16- to 24-degree deadrise. Traditional transducers often struggle with angled hulls, sending beams off-kilter and muddying your screen with weak signals. Here, the built-in compensation points the beam straight down, maximizing echo strength for pinpoint depth accuracy—even at boat speeds where drag could otherwise blur the picture. Mounting nearly flush (just 5mm proud of the hull), it slices through water with minimal resistance, preserving your vessel's hydrodynamic efficiency.

Powerful Dual-Frequency Performance

Operating at 50 kHz for wide-area sweeps up to 1200 feet and 200 kHz for detailed high-res imaging to 700 feet, this 600-watt powerhouse adapts to your fishing style. The 45-degree low-frequency beam excels at spotting bait schools and bottom contours from afar, while the narrow 12-degree high-frequency beam hones in on individual fish arches and wrecks. Paired with an integrated temperature sensor, you'll track water conditions alongside your sonar, helping predict fish behavior during those prime feeding windows.

Effortless Installation and Hull Compatibility

Fiberglass and wood hulls welcome this durable bronze fitting with open arms—no exotic materials required. The low-profile housing simplifies thru-hull installation: drill, bed with marine sealant, and secure. Its 33-foot cable with factory connector plugs right into popular Raymarine sounders, minimizing wiring headaches. Skip the fairing block entirely, saving time and weight while keeping your hull sleek. Pro tip: Measure your deadrise angle precisely beforehand to confirm the 20-degree tilt matches your setup for optimal beam alignment.

Real-World Applications for Serious Anglers

Picture this: You're inshore, probing shallow flats for redfish—its sensitivity shines without false bottoms. Switch to coastal runs, and the wide beam covers more ground for tuna or mahi. On deep lakes, structure fishing reveals hidden ledges where bass lurk. Slow trolling? The flush mount maintains clean water flow over the face, delivering consistent pings. Even drifting over wrecks, temperature data helps time your drifts around thermoclines. It's versatile enough for weekend warriors yet robust for tournament pros.

Maintenance for Long-Term Reliability

Keep it performing like new with simple care. After saltwater trips, rinse the exterior with fresh water to fend off corrosion—bronze holds up well but appreciates the attention. Inspect the cable strain relief periodically for chafe, and avoid antifouling paints directly on the active face. Stored dry during off-seasons, it'll reward you with years of trouble-free service, backed by Raymarine's commitment to quality.
