The Raymarine DT800-12° transducer is an in-hull intelligent transducer designed to provide accurate depth and water temperature data. This model features a 12° tilted ceramic element, optimized to compensate for hull angles ranging from 8 to 15 degrees.

The main functions of this depth sounder are measuring the depth below the hull and the water temperature. This data is transmitted directly via the NMEA 2000 network.

The ceramic element is tilted at 12° to compensate for hull angles ranging from 8 to 15 degrees. This tilt ensures reliable fishfinder performance by correctly directing the sounder beam toward the seabed without requiring an external compensation shoe.

No, the DT800-12° transducer is designed with a 12° tilted ceramic element that already compensates for hull angles between 8 and 15 degrees. Therefore, it does not require an external fairing block for most installations within this angle range.

The transducer transmits depth and water temperature data. This information is broadcast over the NMEA 2000 network to be displayed on compatible devices.

The DT800-12° depth sounder is an 'intelligent' depth sounder with a direct NMEA 2000 output, allowing it to connect directly to the boat's network and transmit data digitally. Traditional analog depth sounders typically require a converter module or an external depth sounder module to convert the analog signal into data usable by modern displays.

No, the DT800-12° transducer is designed to provide standard depth and temperature data via NMEA 2000. For advanced sonar functions such as CHIRP imaging, DownVision, or SideVision, Raymarine offers specific transducers from the RV (RealVision) range that integrate these complex scanning technologies.

Advantages include simplified integration into modern marine networks, reduced wiring complexity and installation costs, and the elimination of the need for a dedicated depth sounder module (DSM) for basic functions. It transmits data directly and digitally.

The Raymarine DT800-12° transducer is a through-hull transducer. This means it is installed by drilling a hole in the boat's hull so the sensor element is in direct contact with the water.

The DT800-12° transducer is compatible with Raymarine multifunction displays that support the NMEA 2000 network, such as the Axiom and Element series. It transmits depth and temperature data directly to these devices via the NMEA 2000 backbone.

Yes, the DT800-12° depth sounder uses the NMEA 2000 standard. It is therefore compatible with any multifunction display or other marine instrumentation device from other brands that is certified and NMEA 2000-compliant for receiving depth and temperature data.

No, for basic depth and temperature functions, the DT800-12° transducer is a smart NMEA 2000 transducer and does not require a dedicated depth sounder module (DSM). It connects directly to the NMEA 2000 backbone and transmits data.

To use the DT800-12° depth sounder, a NMEA 2000 marine network is required. The depth sounder connects directly to this network, also known as the NMEA 2000 backbone, to communicate with other compatible devices.

Yes, Raymarine's SeaTalkng network is based on the NMEA 2000 standard. The DT800-12° transducer can therefore be connected to a SeaTalkng network, potentially with an adapter cable or an appropriate connector if required for the physical interface.

The DT800-12° transducer is a through-hull type transducer. Installation requires drilling a hole in the boat's hull to mount the transducer so that its active face is submerged and flush with the hull.

Yes, as this is a through-hull transducer, installing the DT800-12° requires drilling a hole in the boat hull. This is essential for the transducer’s sensor element to be in direct contact with the water and function correctly.

The 12° tilted ceramic element of the DT800-12° transducer is optimized to compensate for hull angles ranging from 8 to 15 degrees. This ensures the depth sounder's beam is directed vertically toward the seabed, even on inclined hulls.

The transducer connects directly to the boat’s NMEA 2000 backbone. It transmits data digitally over this network, simplifying wiring and integration with multifunction displays and other compatible instruments.

During through-hull installation, it is crucial to choose a hull location where water flow is as laminar as possible, without air bubbles or turbulence. You must also ensure the hull angle falls within the compensation range of 8 to 15 degrees for optimal operation at a 12° tilt.
