Airmar B60 20° Bronze Transducer for Garmin

The Airmar B60 20-degree bronze transducer for Garmin uses a 600-watt, 50/200 kHz Tilted Element design to provide depth and fast-response water-temperature data through a low-profile thru-hull installation. The fixed 20-degree ceramic angle is intended for hull deadrise angles of approximately 16 to 24 degrees, helping direct the sonar beam downward without a conventional external fairing block.

The 50 kHz channel uses a broad 45-degree beam and is rated for depth performance to 1,200 feet under suitable conditions, while the 200 kHz channel narrows the beam to 12 degrees with rated performance to 700 feet. This combination gives anglers a wider deep-water search view and a more focused high-frequency view from the same transducer.

The bronze housing extends only about 3/16 inch outside the hull, making it well suited to compatible fiberglass and wood center-console or trailered boats. This Garmin-specific version uses an 8-pin connection, so it should be matched to a compatible Garmin sonar before installation. Browse more fish finders for related equipment.

Key Features

• Designed for 16 to 24 degree deadrise hulls: The fixed 20-degree element angle helps compensate for hull slope so the sonar beam is directed more nearly straight down.
• Dual-frequency sonar for depth and detail: The 50 kHz channel provides a wider beam while 200 kHz offers a narrower, more focused sonar view.
• Minimal projection below the hull: The low-profile bronze housing extends only a small distance outside the hull, reducing the need for a bulky fairing block.
• Garmin-ready 8-pin configuration: This version is terminated for compatible Garmin sonar systems, simplifying system matching when the connector requirement is known.
