Detailed Description
CHIRP Technology
The B150M uses CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse) technology, enabling transmission of a wide frequency range in a single pulse. This ensures better target separation and more accurate depth measurement compared to traditional single-frequency transducers.
Excellent Depth Capability
Capable of measuring depths up to 183 meters (600 feet), the B150M is perfect for both coastal and offshore fishing. It provides a clear picture of the underwater world, helping identify fish, structures, and bottom contours.
Optimized Beam Width
The 26°/17° beam width offers a good balance between coverage and detail. The wider beam allows scanning of larger areas, while the narrower beam provides more precise detail and better target separation.
Depth and Temperature Measurement
In addition to precise depth measurement, the B150M also provides water temperature data. This information is invaluable for fishing, helping you identify potential fishing spots and understand fish behavior patterns.
Flexible Installation
The transducer is suitable for boats with deadrise angles of 0°-7°, making it compatible with many different boat designs. The 11.9-meter (39-foot) cable ensures sufficient flexibility during installation.
Durable Construction
Made from sturdy bronze, the B150M is built to withstand harsh marine conditions, ensuring long-term and reliable operation.
Installation
- Detailed installation instructions included
- Follow instructions carefully to avoid damaging the boat during installation
- Professional installation recommended, especially if you lack experience with through-hull transducer installation
