Description
Raymarine B60-20 Transducer | Boat Supply Store
For hulls with moderate deadrise angles between 16° and 24°, this transducer provides essential depth and temperature data without the need for a separate fairing block. Its integrated 20-degree tilted element ensures a perpendicular beam to the water surface, maximizing accuracy even on vessels with significant hull curvature. Delivering 600W RMS power across 50/200 kHz frequencies, it is engineered for reliable performance with Raymarine DSM250, DSM300, DSM300G, DSM30, and CP300 modules.
Key Features
- Built-in deadrise compensation with integrated 20-degree tilted element.
- Accurate depth readings via a vertical beam.
- Minimized drag with a nearly flush housing design.
- Durable bronze construction for marine environments.
- Dual frequency sensing at 50 kHz and 200 kHz.
- Robust 600W RMS power output for strong signals.
- Integrated depth and temperature sensing capabilities.
- Eliminates need for an external fairing block.

Common Concerns Answered
What happens if I use the Raymarine B60-20 with a non-compatible fishfinder module?
Using the B60-20 with incompatible modules will result in a lack of functionality or inaccurate readings, as the transducer's signal processing is specifically designed for Raymarine DSM250, DSM300, DSM300G, DSM30, and CP300 units.
Can I expect optimal performance if my hull installation isn't precise?
Proper hull installation is critical; suboptimal placement or sealing can significantly degrade the transducer's performance and lead to inaccurate data, emphasizing the importance of precise mounting as detailed in the installation manual.
What is the primary advantage of the integrated tilted element?
The integrated 20-degree tilted element directly compensates for hull deadrise, eliminating the need for an external fairing block and ensuring a vertical sonar beam for superior depth accuracy and reduced hydrodynamic drag.
