Transuducer XSONIC AIRMAR SS60

The SS60 is a stainless steel, thru-hull broadband transducer designed for smaller sportfishing and commercial vessels up to 25 feet in length. This transducer is optimized for fishing at depths up to 3000 feet, offering excellent performance in both shallow and deep water. The SS60 operates at dual frequencies of 50 kHz and 200 kHz, providing versatile functionality for different fishing conditions. At 50 kHz, it delivers exceptional bottom tracking in deep water, making it ideal for offshore fishing. The 200 kHz frequency offers superior target detail in shallow water, helping you accurately identify fish and underwater structures. One of the key features of the SS60 is its low-profile housing, which minimizes drag by extending only 5 mm outside the hull. This sleek design reduces water resistance, improving the boat’s overall performance. Additionally, the transducer features a 20° tilt, making it perfect for vessels with a hull deadrise between 16° and 24°, ensuring optimal sonar beam alignment for accurate readings. Constructed from durable stainless steel, the SS60 is built to withstand harsh marine environments, providing long-lasting performance and reliability for avid anglers and commercial operators alike.
Key Features

• 20° Tilt
  The 20° tilt built into the SS60 transducer is specifically designed to accommodate boats with a hull deadrise between 16° and 24°. This tilt ensures that the sonar beam is directed straight down into the water, providing accurate depth and fish detection readings. Without this tilt, the sonar beam could be misaligned, resulting in distorted or less reliable data. The tilt feature helps to optimize performance, especially when navigating through sloped hull surfaces.

• Stainless Steel
  The SS60 is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, offering exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, especially in harsh marine environments. This material is ideal for long-term use on vessels exposed to saltwater, where the material might degrade over time. The stainless steel construction also adds strength to the transducer, ensuring it can withstand the impact and stresses associated with high-speed boating and deep-sea fishing. Its robustness makes it a reliable choice for both sportfishing and commercial applications.

• Dual Frequency (50 kHz and 200 kHz)
  The SS60 transducer operates at dual frequencies, 50 kHz and 200 kHz, providing flexibility for different fishing conditions. The 50 kHz frequency is ideal for deep-water fishing, as it offers better penetration and bottom tracking at depths up to 3000 feet. In contrast, the 200 kHz frequency is better suited for shallow water, providing high-resolution imagery and precise target separation, making it easier to spot fish and underwater structures. This dual-frequency capability ensures that anglers have the right tools for both shallow and deep-sea fishing.

• Temperature Sensor
  The SS60 comes equipped with a temperature sensor that accurately measures the water temperature. This feature is crucial for anglers, as water temperature can significantly influence fish behavior and habitat preferences. By providing real-time temperature readings, the transducer allows fishermen to adapt their strategies based on current conditions. The built-in temperature sensor enhances the overall functionality of the transducer, making it a valuable tool for serious fishing.

• Calculates Depth
  The SS60 transducer accurately calculates water depth, which is essential for safe navigation and successful fishing. By sending out sonar waves and measuring the time it takes for them to return, the transducer can determine the depth of the water beneath the boat. This information helps prevent grounding in shallow areas and enables anglers to target specific depths where fish are likely to be found. The reliable depth calculation also aids in understanding the underwater landscape, which is critical for effective fishing.
