Cut-to-angle fairing block for B45 DT transducer installation angle

Designed to optimize the performance of through-hull transducers, the AIRMAR cut-to-angle fairing block is specifically intended for the B45 DT transducer. This accessory ensures hydrodynamic integration of the transducer with the vessel’s hull by precisely adapting to the deadrise angle. It effectively deflects aerated water and propeller wash, elements that can degrade sonar return quality.

Sonar performance optimization

Installing the cut-to-angle fairing block for the B45 DT transducer significantly improves sounder performance, particularly at high speeds. The B45 DT transducer, known for its depth and temperature detection capabilities, operates on dual frequencies of 50 kHz and 200 kHz with an RMS power of 600 W. The fairing block maintains a laminar water flow around the transducer face, ensuring strong echoes and clear images on the sounder display.

Integration and compatibility

The cut-to-angle fairing block is compatible with the B45 DT transducer, a bronze through-hull transducer recommended for planing powerboats and cruising sailboats up to 9 meters in length, compatible with fiberglass or wooden hulls. Customizing its installation angle, up to 26° of deadrise, is essential to maximize the accuracy of depth and temperature measurements provided by the B45 DT transducer.
