XSONIC AIRMAR B60 0°

The XSONIC AIRMAR B60 0 DEG transducer is a through-hull dual-frequency 600 W sensor. It is designed to provide accurate readings of water depth and temperature, essential for navigation and fishing.

The XSONIC AIRMAR B60 0 DEG transducer operates on two distinct frequencies:

50 kHz: Provides a beam width of 45° and a depth range up to 366 metres (1,200 feet). 200 kHz: Offers a beam width of 12° and detection up to 213 metres (700 feet) with improved target resolution.

Yes, the XSONIC AIRMAR B60 0 DEG transducer measures both depth and water temperature with a fast response.

The XSONIC AIRMAR B60 0 DEG depth sounder housing is made of bronze, making it suitable for fiberglass or wooden hulls.

The XSONIC AIRMAR B60 0 DEG transducer has a nominal power of 600 W.

The transducer is supplied with a 10-metre (33-foot) cable and a 9-pin black connector.

Airmar's Tilted Element™ technology enables flush-mount installation of the transducer. It compensates for the boat's keel angle, ensuring the transducer element is correctly oriented for optimal performance, even on angled hulls.

The low-profile design of the XSONIC AIRMAR B60 0 DEG transducer protrudes only 5 mm (3/16") from the hull, reducing drag.

Yes, Airmar certifies that applying the Foulfree coating to its transducers does not result in any performance loss. Foulfree is an ultra-smooth, non-toxic, and durable surface that prevents the adhesion of marine organisms.

The B60 transducer, with its bronze housing, is recommended for fiberglass or wooden hulls. Never install a bronze housing on a metal hull, as this could cause electrolytic corrosion.

The B60 0 DEG model is specifically designed for keel angles between 0° and 7°.

No, the XSONIC AIRMAR B60 0 DEG transducer, with its bronze housing, is not compatible with metal hulls. Installation in a metal hull would cause electrolytic corrosion.

For installation of the B60 transducer in a solid fiberglass or wooden hull, a 60 mm (2-3/8") hole is required for the outer hull section.

The tools and materials typically required for installation include:

Safety glasses, dust mask, hearing protectionAngle meter or digital levelElectric drill with a 10 mm (3/8") or larger chuck3 mm (1/8") drill bitHole saw (size depends on hull type; see installation manual)SandpaperMild detergent or low-solvent cleaner (e.g., alcohol)Marine sealant (suitable for below the waterline)Cable tiesWater-based antifouling paint (mandatory in saltwater)

For planing powerboats, it is recommended to mount the transducer well aft, on or near the centerline, and inside the first set of lifting strakes. This ensures the transducer remains in contact with the water at high speed. The starboard side of the hull, where the propeller blades move downward, is generally preferred.

Yes, it is crucial not to install the transducer in line or near intake or discharge water openings, nor behind hull strakes, fittings, or other hull irregularities that could disrupt water flow. Water flow under the hull must be smooth, with minimal bubbles and turbulence, especially at high speed.

The arrow on top of the transducer must point toward the keel or the centerline of the boat. This aligns the internal angle of the transducer with the keel angle of your hull, ensuring optimal performance.

It is critical to check immediately for any leaks when the boat is launched. Do not leave the boat unattended for more than three hours, as even a small leak can lead to significant water accumulation.

At 50 kHz, the XSONIC AIRMAR B60 0 DEG transducer can reach a depth range of up to 366 meters (1,200 feet).
