Description
Airmar B60 Bronze Thru-Hull 7-Pin Humminbird Transducer | Boat Supply Store
Navigate with superior accuracy on center-console and trailered vessels up to 8 meters (25') using this bronze thru-hull transducer. Its integrated deadrise compensation up to 24 degrees ensures a vertical beam for precise bottom readings even on sloped hulls, eliminating the need for a bulky fairing block. The nearly flush, 5mm housing minimizes drag while the urethane acoustic window protects sensitive components and a built-in temperature sensor provides crucial environmental data. Engineered for direct compatibility with Humminbird fishfinders via its specific 7-pin #9 plug, this transducer is ideal for serious anglers in coastal or inland waterways.

Common Concerns Answered
Is professional installation required for the Airmar B60-12-HB?
While the transducer itself is manageable, drilling a hole through your hull requires precision and proper sealing. We recommend professional installation if you are not experienced with hull penetrations to ensure a watertight and secure fit.
What if I have a different brand of fishfinder than Humminbird?
The Airmar B60-12-HB is specifically designed with a Humminbird #9 plug (7-pin) for direct compatibility. If your fishfinder uses a different connector, this model will not integrate without an adapter, which may not be available or recommended.
Does this transducer offer side-scanning or down-imaging features?
The Airmar B60-12-HB is engineered for traditional sonar with a vertical beam and deadrise compensation. It does not provide side-scanning or down-imaging functionalities; for those capabilities, different transducer models would be necessary.
