Detailed description

The Raymarine A80446 bronze through-hull transducer is designed for seabed detection using HIGH CHIRP conical beam technology. This transducer, characterized by its 0° beam angle, is specifically suited to hulls with little or no deadrise at the installation point, ensuring optimal beam orientation for precise readings.

CHIRP Sonar Technology and Compliance

Integrated into Raymarine’s CPT-S series, this transducer uses a high-frequency conical CHIRP beam to provide improved target discrimination and image clarity compared to traditional fixed-frequency transducers. The CHIRP technology sweeps a wide frequency band, enabling more precise differentiation between fish and structures. The product complies with European directives 2013/53/EU and the harmonized standard EN ISO 8846:2017, attesting to its safety and electromagnetic compatibility in marine environments.

Positioning and Installation

Compared to other models in the CPT-S range, such as the 12° angle versions (E70340/A80447) or 20° angle versions (E70341/A80448), or the plastic variants (E70339), the A80446 bronze 0° transducer is preferred for its robustness and durability in saltwater environments, as well as its suitability for straight hulls. It comes with a 10-meter cable, facilitating connection to a compatible Raymarine sounder module. The through-hull installation ensures minimal hydrodynamic performance loss and protection against impact damage, provided the mounting instructions for fiberglass hulls—whether solid or sandwich-core—are strictly followed.

Expert opinion

« Technical analysis of the Raymarine CPT-S bronze through-hull 0° depth sounder »

The Raymarine CPT-S bronze through-hull 0° depth sounder (A80446) is a suitable choice for vessels with hull designs allowing perpendicular installation to the waterline, minimizing turbulence and maximizing signal quality. The bronze material offers superior resistance to corrosion and electrolysis compared to plastic depth sounders in harsh marine environments, making it ideal for permanent installation on fiberglass or wooden hulls.

The HIGH CHIRP conical beam advantage lies in its ability to provide broader and more detailed detection across varying depths, without the resolution compromises of single-frequency depth sounders. For successful installation, it is critical to ensure no obstructions under the hull and to maintain the 0° angle. It is imperative never to cut the 10m cable of the depth sounder, as this would permanently degrade its performance and void the warranty. This depth sounder is a key component for Raymarine fishfinder systems, providing a solid foundation for fishing and navigation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the HIGH CHIRP cone-beam technology used by this depth sounder?

This depth sounder uses HIGH CHIRP cone-beam technology. CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse) sweeps a wide frequency band, delivering improved target discrimination and image clarity compared to traditional fixed-frequency sounders. The cone beam provides optimal coverage beneath the boat, helping to more precisely distinguish fish from underwater structures.

Why is this transducer made of bronze and what are the advantages of this material?

This transducer is made of bronze for its robustness and durability, particularly suited to harsh saline marine environments. Bronze offers excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, making it the preferred choice for through-hull installations requiring long-term reliability.

What type of hull is the through-hull transducer with a 0° angle intended for?

The through-hull transducer with a 0° angle is specifically designed for hulls with little or no deadrise (keel angle) at the installation point. This ensures optimal beam orientation beneath the boat, enabling accurate and efficient seabed readings.

Is it possible to shorten the 10-meter cable of the depth sounder if necessary?

No, it is not recommended to cut the depth sounder cable. Trimming the cable significantly reduces the fishfinder's performance. Additionally, this would void the product warranty and invalidate the European CE mark. The cable must be replaced if damaged, as it cannot be repaired.

How should I maintain and clean my depth sounder to keep it performing well?

To maintain your depth sounder's performance and prevent marine growth buildup, apply a thin coat of water-based antifouling paint. Reapply this paint every 6 months or at the start of each sailing season. For cleaning, use a soft cloth and mild household detergent. In case of heavy fouling, a non-abrasive cleaning sponge may be used, taking care not to scratch the face of the depth sounder. Never use harsh solvents such as acetone or ketone-based paint, nor aerosol spray paint, as these can damage the depth sounder.

Which Raymarine devices is this CPT-S transducer compatible with?

This transducer is designed to be compatible with Raymarine CHIRP-enabled sounder modules and multifunction displays from the CPT-S series. It requires connection to a compatible Raymarine sounder module to function correctly.

What are the benefits of a certified Raymarine installation for the warranty of this depth sounder?

Raymarine recommends a certified installation performed by an authorized installer. Such an installation provides enhanced warranty benefits for the product. It is advised to contact your Raymarine dealer for further details on specific conditions.
