Raymarine B260 Bronze Broadband Ultra-High Performance Thru-Hull w/Fairing

The Raymarine B260 Bronze Broadband Ultra-High Performance Thru-Hull with Fairing is a 1000-watt bronze transducer designed for serious fishermen and marine professionals who demand exceptional sonar clarity in demanding offshore and coastal environments. This through-hull transducer integrates temperature sensing capability and includes a fairing block to reduce hydrodynamic drag and transducer interference during operation.

The B260 Broadband operates at 200 kHz, delivering improved performance by actively reducing transducer ringing—a phenomenon that degrades sonar image quality at depth. The 1000-watt output power ensures strong signal return even in deep water, challenging bottom compositions, and adverse conditions. Bronze construction provides superior corrosion resistance in saltwater applications compared to plastic alternatives, while the integral fairing block minimizes turbulence and acoustic interference caused by hull movement and propeller activity.

This transducer is engineered for vessels equipped with Raymarine echo sounders including DSM250, DSM300, SL Series (SL755RC, SL760RC, SL1250, SL1250RC), and HSB2 Plus Series (L755RC, L760, L760RC, L1250) systems. It serves commercial fishing operations, charter vessels, serious recreational anglers, and marine surveying applications where clean sonar data directly impacts catch success and navigation safety.

The B260 represents Raymarine's broadband transducer technology—a refinement over earlier narrowband designs that offers wider frequency bandwidth, faster target acquisition, and reduced dead-zone interference. For operators transitioning from basic fixed-frequency transducers, the performance gains in resolution and detection range are immediately measurable.
