It compensates for deadrise by angling the element inside the housing. There's an arrow on top of the housing that should point towards the keel, whether it's installed on the port or starboard side, ensuring the correct orientation of the tilted element. Specifications include a 20 and 6 - degree beam angle, 50 and 200 kHz frequency, and it weighs 20 lbs with dimensions of 10x8x6.

Using the Furuno 526TID - LTD12 transducer is quite straightforward. First, make sure to install it with the arrow on the housing pointing towards the keel, whether you're installing it on the port or starboard side. This ensures the tilted element is in the right position. When mounting, follow the standard thru - hull installation procedures. As for maintenance, keep the transducer clean. Regularly check for any signs of damage to the housing or the element. If you notice any cracks or wear, it's a good idea to get it inspected or replaced. Avoid exposing the transducer to harsh chemicals. When not in use, store it in a dry and cool place to extend its lifespan. And always remember to follow the manufacturer's instructions for any technical settings related to your boat's system.
