With its narrow beamwidth, it's a champ at pinpointing fish near reefs, wrecks, and other structures. Designed to minimize drag, it performs well even at high speeds. Specifications include: it measures depth and temperature, operates at a CHIRP frequency of 85 - 135 kHz, has a 12° tilted version suitable for 8° to 15° hull deadrise, is made of bronze, has an RMS power of 1 kW, a hole diameter of 87.6 mm (3.45'), a 9 m (30 ft) cable length, an NTC temp. sensor, and a urethane acoustic window.

Using your Echonautics BT87M1KW-12 transducer is easy. First, install it in your boat according to the hole diameter specification. Make sure it fits well for the best performance. When you're out on the water, turn on your device and start getting depth and temperature readings. To find fish, just look for areas near reefs and wrecks. The narrow beamwidth will help you locate them accurately. As for maintenance, keep the transducer clean after each use. Rinse it with fresh water to remove any salt or debris. Check the cable regularly for any signs of damage. If you notice any issues with the temp. sensor or acoustic window, get them checked out right away. Also, make sure the hull deadrise of your boat is within the 8° to 15° range for the 12° tilted version to work properly.
