Airmar SS60-12-8G 50/200Khz 12d Tilted Element 8-Pin garmin Connector

The Airmar SS60-12-8G 50/200Khz 12d Tilted Element 8-Pin Garmin Connector is a dual-frequency transducer built for serious anglers and recreational boaters who demand reliable sonar performance at depth. This through-hull mount transducer delivers both 50 kHz and 200 kHz frequencies, giving you the flexibility to switch between long-range structural scanning and high-resolution target detail on a single installation. Whether you're running deep offshore or working shallow structure in coastal waters, this transducer adapts to your fishing style without requiring hardware changes.

The SS60-12-8G features a 12-degree tilted element design that compensates for hull deadrise on modern recreational boats, ensuring clean sonar returns even on angled transducer installations. The tilted cone geometry reduces signal loss and improves target separation, critical when you're reading fish suspended around shallow reefs or distinguishing baitfish from structure. Its 8-pin Garmin connector provides direct compatibility with the entire Garmin fishfinder ecosystem—GPSMAP, echoMAP, and STRIKER series units—and the connector is sealed to withstand salt spray and washdown. Airmar's proven stainless-steel construction weighs just 3 pounds and resists corrosion in both freshwater and marine environments, giving you years of dependable service without performance degradation.

This transducer is ideal for hull-mount installations on center consoles, cuddy cabins, and center-mounted brackets where conventional through-hull fittings work best. The tilted element design particularly benefits boats with pronounced V-hulls or modified deadrise, where a straight-mount transducer would create blind spots or weak returns. Installation requires a standard 2-inch aluminum thru-hull fitting kit (available separately) and basic marine plumbing supplies. If you're upgrading an existing Garmin sonar system or building a new one from scratch, the SS60-12-8G's dual-frequency capability and proven reliability make it the workhorse choice for anglers who fish deep channels, offshore wrecks, and structure-rich inshore waters.
