XSONIC Airmar SS60 (20°)

The XSONIC Airmar SS60 (20°) transducer is a 600 W through-hull stainless steel transducer. It is designed to provide accurate depth and water temperature readings and features Tilted Element™ technology with a 20° tilt angle.

This transducer operates on two frequencies:

50 kHz: Provides a wide 45° beam for depth detection up to 366 meters. 200 kHz: Uses a 12° beam with a range up to 213 meters, ideal for shallower waters or better target definition.

Yes, the XSONIC Airmar SS60 (20°) transducer also detects water temperature with a fast response, in addition to depth data.

The XSONIC Airmar SS60 (20°) transducer has a power output of 600 W.

This is a low-profile thru-hull transducer with Tilted Element™ technology.

The housing of the XSONIC Airmar SS60 (20°) depth sounder is made of stainless steel.

The XSONIC Airmar SS60 (20°) transducer is supplied with a 10-metre (33 ft) cable.

The XSONIC Airmar SS60 (20°) transducer is equipped with a 9-pin black connector.

Thanks to its stainless steel housing, the XSONIC Airmar SS60 (20°) transducer is compatible with all hull materials, including fiberglass, wood, and metal.

The SS60 (20°) transducer is specifically designed for hulls with a deadrise angle between 16° and 24° at the mounting point. Its 20° tilt angle compensates for this inclination.

No, the XSONIC Airmar SS60 (20°) transducer is a traditional dual-frequency transducer (50/200 kHz) and not a CHIRP model.

Yes, the stainless-steel housing of the XSONIC Airmar SS60 (20°) transducer is compatible with metal hulls. However, it is critical to use the supplied isolation ring to isolate the housing from the metal hull to prevent electrolytic corrosion.

For a metal hull, a 70 mm (2-13/16 inch) hole is required on the outside of the hull.

For optimal performance, select a location where the water flow under the hull is smooth, with minimal bubbles and turbulence, especially at high speed. The transducer must remain continuously submerged, and its beam must not be obstructed by the keel or propeller shaft. Avoid areas near water intakes or discharges, seams, fittings, or other hull irregularities. For planing powerboats, mount it at the stern, near the centerline and inside the first set of lifting strakes.

Yes, when installing the SS60 (20°) transducer on a metal hull, it is mandatory to use the provided isolation ring. This isolates the stainless steel housing from the metal hull and prevents electrolytic corrosion.

During installation, it is recommended to wear safety glasses, a dust mask, and hearing protection. Immediately check for leaks when the boat is launched and do not leave it unattended for more than three hours. Never pull, carry, or hold the transducer by its cable, as this could sever internal connections.

The arrow on top of the transducer must point toward the keel or the centerline of the boat. This ensures the internal element’s angle aligns with the keel angle of your hull.

The XSONIC Airmar SS60 (20°) transducer has a low-profile housing that minimizes drag. Once installed, it protrudes from the hull by only 5 mm.

The XSONIC Airmar SS60 (20°) transducer is a through-hull stainless-steel transducer with 600 W output, designed to provide accurate depth and water temperature readings. Its main features are:

Tilted Element™ technology: It features a 20° tilt angle, compensating for keel angles between 16° and 24° in hulls, ensuring the sonar beam is directed vertically toward the seabed.Dual-Frequency performance:50 kHz: Provides a wide 45° beam for depth detection up to 366 m (1,200 ft), ideal for deeper waters.200 kHz: Uses a 12° beam with a range up to 213 m (700 ft), perfect for shallower waters and improved target definition.Material: Stainless-steel housing for enhanced durability.Connectivity: Supplied with a 9-pin black connector and 10 m (33 ft) cable.Low-profile design minimizes drag, protruding only 5 mm (0.2 in) from the hull.
