Airmar B164 1KW Bronze TH 20D Tilted Element Lowrance

The Airmar B164 1KW Bronze TH 20D Tilted Element Lowrance is a professional-grade marine transducer engineered for serious anglers and boaters who demand reliable, high-definition sonar data in demanding saltwater and freshwater environments. This bronze through-hull transducer is built to mount permanently on your vessel, delivering the sustained performance needed for tournament fishing, deep-water exploration, and consistent bottom mapping across varied depths and bottom compositions. Its 1-kilowatt power output ensures strong signal penetration and exceptional clarity, whether you're scanning shallow flats or probing the abyss.

The 20-degree tilted element design is critical for hull-mounted transducers on planing hulls, reducing deadzone forward of the boat and improving target resolution at cruising speed—a feature that separates serious fish-finding equipment from basic alternatives. Bronze construction resists galvanic corrosion in saltwater and provides superior durability over extended seasons, while the robust 1KW power rating delivers two-way sonar communication that cuts through thermoclines, thermal noise, and cluttered bottom structure. The transducer integrates seamlessly with Lowrance fish finders and compatible plotters, transmitting crystal-clear returns that reveal fish behavior, structure details, and water column dynamics.

This transducer is ideal for center-console, offshore, and dedicated fishing vessels where permanent through-hull installation is practical and where saltwater durability is non-negotiable. Installation requires careful positioning—typically on the transom or just ahead of the prop—to avoid turbulence and strut interference that can degrade signal quality. At 12 pounds, it demands solid mounting hardware and proper fairing to minimize drag. Verify mounting location and cable routing during installation to ensure optimal performance and maintain your vessel's structural integrity and hydrodynamics.
