AIRMAR Xsonic B285M 1kW CHIRP Thru-Hull TransducerUnleash the full potential of your fishfinder with the AIRMAR Xsonic B285M, a high-performance, 1kW CHIRP-ready transducer designed for serious offshore anglers and commercial fishermen. Experience unprecedented target resolution and deep-water performance, allowing you to see what lies beneath the waves with game-changing clarity. This transducer is a vital component in Airmars professional series, which offers power ratings from 0.61 kW to 2.9 kW, placing the B285M as a powerful and popular choice for versatile fishing conditions.The B285M operates on a medium-frequency CHIRP band (85-135 kHz), providing the perfect balance between the exceptional depth penetration of low-frequency CHIRP and the superior target resolution of high-frequency CHIRP. This allows you to pinpoint individual game fish holding tight to structure, clearly distinguish bait balls from larger predators, and accurately map bottom contours even at significant depths. The CHIRP technology continuously sweeps across the frequency band, putting more energy into the water column to deliver cleaner, more detailed returns with significantly less noise and clutter on your display.Engineered for a clean and efficient installation, the B285M features Airmars exclusive Tilted Element technology. The ceramic element inside the housing is tilted to precisely offset the boats hull deadrise. This ensures the transducer beam is aimed straight down, maximizing echo returns and ensuring accurate depth readings. This innovative design eliminates the need for a fairing block, resulting in a low-profile, Thru-hull installation that maintains excellent performance at speed with minimal drag.The integrated Xsonic 9-pin connector provides a simple, plug-and-play solution for seamless compatibility with Lowrance, Simrad, and B&G multifunction displays and echosounder modules, ensuring you get the most out of your electronics suite. A highly sensitive, fast-response water temperature sensor is also built-in, giving you access to critical data for identifying thermoclines where fish often congregate.Key Benefits:* Superior Target Definition: Medium-frequency CHIRP provides crisp, clear images, allowing you to easily separate fish from the bottom, structure, and other fish within a school.* Excellent Deep-Water Performance: The powerful 1kW output ensures strong returns and reliable bottom tracking in deep offshore environments.* Optimized Beam: The Tilted Element design directs the beam vertically for maximum echo return and accurate depth readings, regardless of your boats deadrise.* Low-Profile Installation: The Thru-hull bronze housing offers a streamlined fit without a fairing block, reducing drag and potential turbulence for cleaner sonar readings at speed.* Plug-and-Play Connectivity: The Xsonic connector ensures straightforward integration with leading Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G sonar systems.Main Features:* 1 kW of Power* Medium-Frequency CHIRP from 85 kHz to 135 kHz* Tilted Element Technology* Thru-hull Bronze Housing* Integrated Fast-Response Temperature Sensor* Xsonic 9-pin Connector for direct connectionTechnical Specifications:* Product: AIRMAR Xsonic B285M* Power Rating: 1 kW* Frequency Range: 85-135 kHz* Beamwidth: 16 to 11* Mounting Style: Thru-hull* Housing Material: Bronze* Functions: Depth and fast-response water temperature* Compatible Hull Materials: Fiberglass or wood Reviews There are no reviews yet.
