Echonautics BT87H1kW-12 1kW 130-210kHz High CHIRP 0d Tilted Element Bronze TH

The Echonautics BT87H1kW-12 is a top - notch low - profile thru - hull CHIRP transducer. It offers superior shallow - water performance and detailed bottom readings. With a narrow beamwidth, it's great for finding fish near reefs, wrecks, and other structures. It can operate at high speeds while minimizing drag. This transducer provides depth and temperature data, with a CHIRP frequency range of 130 - 210 kHz. The 12° tilted version suits hull deadrise from 8° to 15°. Made of bronze, it has a 1 kW RMS power, a beamwidth of 13° to 8° @ - 3db, and can reach a max depth of 304 m (1,000 ft). It comes with an NTC temp sensor, a urethane acoustic window, a 9 m (30 ft) cable, and requires an 87.6 mm (3.45') hole diameter.

Using your Echonautics BT87H1kW - 12 transducer is easy. First, make sure to install it in a spot on your boat's hull with an 8° to 15° deadrise, using a hole with a diameter of 87.6 mm (3.45'). Connect the 9 m (30 ft) cable properly. Once installed, turn on your system, and it will start providing depth and temperature data. When using it, keep in mind that it works best at high speeds due to its low - profile design that reduces drag. It's great for pinpointing fish around structures because of its narrow beamwidth. For maintenance, regularly check the urethane acoustic window for any signs of damage. Also, inspect the cable for wear and tear. If you notice any issues, it's best to consult a professional. Don't expose the transducer to extreme temperatures, as it may affect the NTC temperature sensor. With proper use and care, your transducer will serve you well for a long time.
