The combination of power and sensitivity has made this the high-performing transducer of choice with conventional fishfinders. Operating at 50 and 200 kHz, the narrow, 6\u00b0 beam at 200 kHz provides excellent target resolution and crisp images of fish holding tight to wrecks and reefs. The 50 kHz is excellent at deep-water detection, and its wide 19\u00b0 beam yields broad coverage under the boat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"TypographyStyle-sc-11lquxl gVBKsR\">The transducer is installed in the included tank which is cut to the boat\u2019s deadrise angle and affixed inside the hull. When the transducer is placed inside the tank, it is properly oriented for optimal performance. The M260 is a popular choice for customers not wanting to drill a hole in their hull and for trailered or multi-hulled boats.<\/p>\n<h4>Features:<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"UnorderedList-sc-1gl7lfr iMchvn\">\n<li class=\"ListItem-sc-1ki5k3p gSKIUI\">Depth only<\/li>\n<li class=\"ListItem-sc-1ki5k3p gSKIUI\">1 kW of power<\/li>\n<li class=\"ListItem-sc-1ki5k3p gSKIUI\">Dual-frequency elements:\n<ul class=\"UnorderedList-sc-1gl7lfr iMchvn\">\n<li class=\"ListItem-sc-1ki5k3p gSKIUI\">50 kHz with a 19\u00b0 beamwidth for depth performance to 735\u00a0m (2500&#8242;)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ListItem-sc-1ki5k3p gSKIUI\">200 kHz with a 6\u00b0 beamwidth for depth performance to 294\u00a0m (1000&#8242;)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ListItem-sc-1ki5k3p gSKIUI\">Available with a diplexer for single-transmission-line fishfinders and without a diplexer for dual-transmission-line fishfinders<\/li>\n<li class=\"ListItem-sc-1ki5k3p gSKIUI\">Plastic transducer housing and mounting tank<\/li>\n<li class=\"ListItem-sc-1ki5k3p gSKIUI\">Also available in transom (TM260), bronze thru-hull (B260), and stainless steel thru-hull (SS260) mounts<\/li>\n<li class=\"ListItem-sc-1ki5k3p gSKIUI\">Patented Xducer ID<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0technology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northsidemarine.com.au\/online-store\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/07\/M260.pdf\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;text-decoration: underline\">View Brochure<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northsidemarine.com.au\/online-store\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/07\/doc-116-d-17-446-01-1-6-1.pdf\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;text-decoration: underline\">View Installation Instructions<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northsidemarine.com.au\/online-store\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/07\/doc-116-d-17-446-02-1-2-1.pdf\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;text-decoration: underline\">View Installation Supplement<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"style-scope ytd-watch-metadata\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZqBxXdejI2M\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;text-decoration: underline\">Transducer University &#8211; Understanding Transducer Types<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4>AIRMAR M260 &#8211; Traditional\/CW In-hull Transducer<\/h4>\n<p class=\"TypographyStyle-sc-11lquxl gVBKsR\">The performance of Airmar\u2019s &#8220;1 kW, 260 family&#8221; of transducers is legendary.
