Detailed description

The XSONIC Airmar B60 (20°) thru-hull transducer is a 600 W depth sounder solution designed for fiberglass or wooden hulls. Featuring Tilted Element™ technology, this model ensures the sonar beam is oriented straight down, compensating for hull angles between 16° and 24° thanks to its 20° tilted ceramic element.

Sonar Performance and Versatility

This dual-frequency transducer operates at 50 kHz and 200 kHz. At 50 kHz, it provides a 45° beam and a depth detection capability up to 366 meters (1,200 feet). At 200 kHz, the beam is 12° with a maximum depth range of 213 meters (700 feet). The XSONIC Airmar B60 delivers fast-response depth and water temperature data, making it suitable for various fishing and recreational boating applications.

Design and Installation

With a bronze housing and a discreet design, the transducer protrudes only 5 mm (3/16") from the hull, minimizing drag and not affecting boat performance. Its weight is 1.4 kg (3 lbs). The transducer is compatible with fiberglass and wooden hulls. Installation requires drilling a 60 mm (2-3/8") hole and offers a usable shaft length of 68.5 mm (2.70"). The acoustic window is made of urethane. This model is intended for vessels with an overall length (LOA) up to 8 meters (26 feet), including center-console boats or trailerable vessels. It features a 9-pin black xSonic connector and a 1.8 m (6 ft) cable for compatibility with Navico displays (Lowrance and Simrad) with sonar support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What type of transducer is the XSONIC Airmar B60?

The XSONIC Airmar B60 is a thru-hull transducer. It is designed to be installed through the hull of your boat.

What is the output power of this transducer?

This transducer has an output power of 600 W.

Which frequencies does the XSONIC Airmar B60 transducer use?

The XSONIC Airmar B60 transducer is dual-frequency and operates at 50 kHz and 200 kHz.

What are the depth capabilities of the XSONIC Airmar B60?

Depth capabilities vary depending on the frequency used:

At 50 kHz, it offers a depth detection capability up to 366 meters (1200 feet). At 200 kHz, the maximum depth range is 213 meters (700 feet).

What data does the XSONIC Airmar B60 transducer provide?

The XSONIC Airmar B60 transducer provides fast-response depth and water temperature data.

What is the length of the cable supplied with the transducer?

The transducer is supplied with a 1.8-metre (6-foot) cable.

What material is the XSONIC Airmar B60 transducer housing made of?

The XSONIC Airmar B60 transducer housing is made of bronze.

Does the B60 transducer integrate Tilted Element™ technology?

Yes, the XSONIC Airmar B60 integrates Tilted Element™ technology with a 20° tilted ceramic element.

What is the specific feature of the Tilted Element™ technology?

The Tilted Element™ technology allows the sonar beam to be directed straight down, compensating for hull deadrise angles between 16° and 24°. This ensures optimal sonar performance even on angled hulls.

What is the protrusion of the transducer below the hull once installed?

The transducer’s discreet design protrudes only 5 mm (3/16") from the hull, minimizing drag and having no impact on the boat’s performance.

Is the B60 transducer compatible with antifouling coatings?

Yes, Airmar certifies that applying the Foulfree coating to its transducers does not result in any performance loss. Foulfree is a non-toxic and durable coating that prevents marine growth from adhering to the surface.

On which hull types can the XSONIC Airmar B60 transducer be installed?

The XSONIC Airmar B60 transducer, with its bronze housing, is recommended for fiberglass or wooden hulls.

What hull deadrise angle is compatible with this B60 model (20°)?

This B60 model (20°) is designed for hulls with deadrise angles between 16° and 24°.

Which tools are required for installing the transducer?

For installation, you will need the following tools and materials:

Safety glasses, dust mask, hearing protectionAngle finder or digital levelElectric drill with a 10 mm (3/8") or larger chuck3 mm or 1/8" drill bitHole saw (see question on hole size)SandpaperMild household detergent or low-solvent cleaner (such as alcohol)Marine sealant (suitable for below the waterline)Cable tiesWater-based antifouling paint (mandatory in salt water)For a sandwich fiberglass hull, additional tools for lamination may be required.

Which hull materials is the B60 bronze housing compatible with?

The bronze housing of the B60 transducer is recommended and compatible with fiberglass or wooden hulls. It must never be installed in a metal hull due to the risk of electrolytic corrosion.
