Sondă de lipit cu fascicul conic HIGH CHIRP, unghi 0/12/20°, CPT-S, cablu 6 m

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

This transducer is specifically designed to be installed on boats with a solid fiberglass hull (non-sandwich). It will not work correctly through wood or metal hulls (steel, aluminum), or hulls with a foam or balsa core (sandwich construction).

These angles correspond to the different mounting brackets supplied with the transducer to compensate for the V-angle of your hull (called "deadrise measurement"). By selecting the bracket that matches your hull's inclination, you ensure the transducer's sonar beam is directed vertically toward the seabed, guaranteeing accurate depth readings and target detection.

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

The Element series (HV, S)Axiom DV modelsAxiom, 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 allows easy distinction between individual fish, even when they are close to the seabed or in tight schools.Less surface noise: It filters interference for a cleaner image.Excellent bottom tracking: It maintains a clear seabed display even at higher speeds.

The transducer is supplied with an integrated 6-metre cable.

To choose the correct transducer mount, you must measure the deadrise angle of your hull (keel profile) at the location where you plan to install the transducer. Use a level or an angle gauge to determine the inclination. Then select the mount whose angle is closest to your measurement to ensure optimal performance.

No, the CPT-S A80691 transducer is a conical-beam transducer that provides only a traditional CHIRP fishfinder view. 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 polyurethane sealant with neutral curing to secure the depth sounder 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 transducer offers depth detection performance up to 183 meters (600 feet) in ideal conditions.

No, this transducer is designed exclusively for Raymarine navigation systems and fishfinders. The connector and electronic specifications 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 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 performance.

The ideal location is an area of the hull that:

Is always submerged, even when the boat is planing.Is away from the strakes, 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 glued transducer is an excellent option for fiberglass sailboats. Its internal installation avoids hull penetration, which is particularly appreciated on sailboats. You simply need to ensure it is placed in an area where the hull has no sandwich structure.

No, since the transducer 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 conical-beam transducer uses a 25-degree beam angle. This provides a good balance between wide detection coverage and clear bottom definition.

Yes, Raymarine offers specific extension cables for its CPT-S transducers. If the 6 meters provided are not sufficient to reach your multifunction display, you can purchase a compatible extension cable to increase the range.

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

A glue-on transducer does not directly measure water temperature. If there is a temperature sensor, it will be influenced by the hull temperature and the air inside the cabin. For an accurate reading of surface water temperature, a through-hull or transom-mounted transducer with a sensor exposed to water is required.
