If you need a thru-hull flush-style transducer, the Tilted Element 525T-LTD/12 suits hulls with a deadrise angle between 8° and 15°, while the 525T-LTD/20 is ideal for those with a 16° - 24° deadrise angle. These transducers adjust for deadrise by angling the internal element. There's an arrow on the housing top, which should point to the keel during installation (port or starboard) to ensure correct element orientation. It has 600 Watts power, operates at 50/200 kHz, and has 20/6 degree beam angles. It's a bronze thru hull with temperature sensor and comes with a 30-foot cable and 10-pin connector.
Using this Furuno transducer is easy. First, check your hull's deadrise angle to choose between the 525T-LTD/12 or 525T-LTD/20. When installing, make sure the arrow on the housing top points towards the keel, whether it's on the port or starboard side. This will ensure the internal element is in the right position. As for maintenance, keep the transducer clean from dirt and debris. Regularly check the 30-foot cable and 10-pin connector for any signs of damage. If you notice any issues, it's best to get it checked by a professional. Remember, this transducer has a power of 600 Watts and operates at 50/200 kHz, so use it within these specifications for the best performance.
