Bronze depth sounder 1000W (B260) with fairing block (CP3xx)

The Raymarine B260 transducer is a 1000W bronze through-hull transducer designed specifically for reliable seabed detection in deep waters. It provides accurate depth and water temperature data.

The B260 transducer has a power output of 1000W. This high power is essential for deeper signal penetration in water, enabling accurate and reliable readings even at great depths.

The Raymarine B260 transducer detects and transmits accurate water depth and temperature data, critical for navigation and fishing.

The B260 transducer is made of bronze. This material ensures excellent durability and high resistance to demanding marine environments, including corrosion and wear.

The fairing block is an included hydrodynamic accessory that installs around the transducer. It improves water flow around the transducer, reducing turbulence and noise at high speeds for clearer and more reliable depth sounder data.

The Raymarine B260 transducer is a traditional dual-frequency transducer operating at 50 kHz and 200 kHz. These frequencies are optimized for deep-water detection and detailed bottom detection, respectively.

The B260 transducer offers a beam angle of approximately 19 degrees at 50 kHz and approximately 6 degrees at 200 kHz. These angles are designed to balance bottom coverage and target resolution.

No, the Raymarine B260 transducer is a traditional dual-frequency transducer (50/200 kHz) and is not a CHIRP transducer. It is designed to work with fishfinder modules compatible with traditional transducers.

Yes, with its 1000W power and 50/200 kHz frequencies, the B260 depth sounder is particularly well suited for deep-water fishing, providing excellent bottom and fish detection capabilities.

A through-hull bronze transducer like the B260 provides a very robust installation and optimal performance by minimizing interference. Bronze is also highly durable and corrosion-resistant in a marine environment, making it a preferred choice for fiberglass or wooden hulls.

The Raymarine B260 transducer is directly compatible with Raymarine depth sounder modules in the CP3xx series, such as the CP370. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into these systems.

The Raymarine B260 transducer is designed with a connector and specifications optimized for Raymarine CP3xx series fishfinder modules. Use with systems from other brands is generally not recommended without a specific adapter and may result in performance loss or incompatibility.

Yes, the B260 transducer is compatible with Raymarine multifunction displays indirectly, via its connection to a CP3xx series sounder module. The CP3xx module data is then transmitted and displayed on the Raymarine multifunction display.

Primary compatibility is with the CP3xx series. For older modules, it may be necessary to check the exact specifications of the module and connector, and an adapter might be required. It is recommended to consult Raymarine documentation or an expert for these specific cases.

The Raymarine B260 transducer is a thru-hull type. This means it is installed by drilling a hole through the hull, with the transducer element outside and the connection inside.

Yes, as it is a through-hull transducer, installing the B260 requires drilling a hole in your boat's hull to insert the transducer body. Proper sealing is critical during this installation.

The Raymarine B260 transducer is supplied with a standard 30-foot (approximately 9.1-meter) cable, providing sufficient flexibility for positioning and connection to the depth sounder module.

Although not technically required for basic operation, installing the transducer shoe is highly recommended, especially for high-speed vessels. It optimizes the depth sounder's performance by reducing turbulence and ensuring laminar water flow, which improves data clarity and reliability at high speeds.

Yes, the B260 transducer is generally supplied with all the hardware required for through-hull installation, including nuts, washers, and seals, in addition to the transducer housing and cable, to ensure a complete and secure installation.
