Airmar B285C-HW Thru-Hull With Raymarine 11-Pin Mix-N-Ma

The Airmar B285C-HW Thru-Hull With Raymarine 11-Pin Mix-N-Match cable delivers professional-grade depth and temperature data directly beneath your boat. Built for serious anglers and cruisers who demand reliable sonar performance in both shallow and deep water, this bronze thru-hull transducer integrates seamlessly with Raymarine systems. Whether you're targeting structure on a tournament run or navigating coastal waters, the B285C-HW provides the clarity and responsiveness you need to read the bottom and locate fish with confidence.

The B285C features Airmar's exclusive Xducer ID® technology, which automatically recognizes the transducer and optimizes sonar performance without manual configuration. Its 1 kW CHIRP architecture delivers superior target separation and bottom discrimination across a wide operational range, enabling you to distinguish individual fish from bait balls and read hard structure with precision. The bronze housing ensures corrosion resistance and durability in saltwater and brackish environments, while the wide beam pattern maximizes coverage directly under the hull—eliminating blind spots that compromise fishing success. Paired with the Raymarine 11-pin connector, this unit integrates with a broad range of compatible Raymarine chartplotters and multifunction displays for plug-and-play installation.

This transducer is ideal for boat owners running Raymarine systems who want to upgrade or replace an aging thru-hull without rewiring. Installation requires a proper thru-hull mounting hole and basic sealant work, but the Xducer ID® feature eliminates the need for manual frequency and transducer-type selection once power is applied. Anglers operating center consoles, cruising sailboats, and offshore powerboats benefit most from the B285C's robust performance in variable bottom conditions—from soft mud to hard rock. Verify your Raymarine display's 11-pin connector compatibility before purchase to ensure a direct, integrated installation.
