No, it is absolutely not necessary to drill a hole in the hull. The CPT-S A80691 transducer is an "in-hull" model, meaning it is installed inside the hull by being glued directly onto the fiberglass. This eliminates any risk of leaks and preserves the integrity of your boat.

This transducer is specifically designed for installation on boats with a solid fiberglass hull (non-sandwich). It will not function properly through wooden or metal (steel, aluminum) hulls, or hulls with a foam or balsa core (sandwich construction).

These angles correspond to the different mounting brackets provided with the transducer to compensate for the deadrise angle of your hull (known as "relevé de varangue"). By selecting the bracket that matches your hull's inclination, you ensure the sonar beam of the transducer is directed vertically toward the bottom, thus guaranteeing accurate depth readings and target detection.

The CPT-S A80691 transducer is compatible with Raymarine displays featuring a traditional CHIRP sounder channel. This includes:

The Element series (HV, S)The Axiom DV modelsThe Axiom, Axiom+, and Axiom Pro models (on their conical CHIRP sounder channel)

High CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse) technology provides a much clearer and more detailed sonar image than traditional fishfinders. Its main advantages are:

Better target separation: It makes it easy to distinguish individual fish, even when they are close to the seabed or in tight schools.Less surface noise: It filters out interference for a cleaner image.Excellent bottom tracking: It maintains a clear display of the seabed, even at higher speeds.

The depth sounder is supplied with an integrated 6-metre cable.

To choose the correct mounting bracket, measure the deadrise angle (V-angle) of your hull where you plan to install the transducer. Use a level or an angle gauge to determine the slope. Then select the bracket with the angle closest to your measurement for optimal performance.

No, the CPT-S A80691 transducer is a single-beam transducer that provides only traditional CHIRP sonar imaging. It is not designed for bottom imaging technologies such as DownVision, SideVision, or RealVision 3D.

The kit includes mounts for 0°, 12° and 20°. For a 15° angle, the 12° mount would be the most suitable. While performance is optimized for exact angles, using the closest mount will yield satisfactory results in most conditions.

For correct installation, the manufacturer recommends using a marine-grade neutral-cure polyurethane sealant to secure the transducer tube to the hull. The tube is then filled with antifreeze (propylene glycol) to eliminate air between the transducer and the hull.

The Raymarine CPT-S High CHIRP fishfinder delivers depth detection performance up to 183 metres (600 feet) in ideal conditions.

No, this transducer is designed exclusively for Raymarine navigation systems and fishfinders. The connector and electronic characteristics are specific to Raymarine products and are not compatible with other brands such as Garmin, Lowrance, or Humminbird.

The main advantage is protection and the absence of drag. Installed inside the hull, the transducer is fully protected from impacts with debris, rocks, or during trailer launching. Additionally, it creates no hydrodynamic drag, which does not affect the boat's speed or fuel consumption.

The ideal location is an area of the hull that:

Is always submerged, even when the boat is planing.Is away from the frames, water intakes, propeller, and any other source of turbulence.Is made of thin solid fiberglass.Is as close as possible to the boat’s centerline.A good location is often in the bilge, toward the stern of the boat.

Yes, the CPT-S glue-on transducer is an excellent choice for fiberglass sailboats. Its internal installation avoids hull penetration, which is particularly appreciated on sailboats. Simply ensure it is placed in an area without sandwich-core structure in the hull.

No, since the depth sounder is installed inside the hull, the antifouling paint applied on the outside has no impact on its performance. The sonar signal passes through the hull from the inside to the outside.

The CPT-S cone beam depth sounder uses a beam angle of 25 degrees. This provides a good balance between wide detection coverage and good bottom definition.

Yes, Raymarine offers specific extension cables for its CPT-S transducers. If the supplied 6 meters are insufficient to reach your multifunction display, you can purchase a compatible extension cable to increase the range.

The weight of the depth sounder with its cable is approximately 0.615 kg, excluding packaging.

An adhesive-mounted transducer does not measure water temperature directly. The temperature sensor, if present, will be influenced by the hull temperature and the air in the cabin. For an accurate reading of surface water temperature, a through-hull or transom-mounted transducer with a sensor exposed to the water is required.
