B260 SS260

Powerful, Yet Sensitive!

The B260 will enhance ﬁsh detection on virtually all of today’s ﬁsh ﬁnders. High-performance has been redeﬁned with its Broadband Ceramic Technology. The narrow, 6° beam 200 kHz ceramic will give you excellent resolution and crisp image detail needed for bottom ﬁshing. The B260’s low ringing is perfect for ﬁnding ﬁsh holding tight to the bottom and other structure. The seven-element 50 kHz array has a wider 19° beam for deeper blue-water ﬁshing. The outcome at both frequencies is excellent resolution and crisp image detail where it’s needed most.

Streamlined Performance

This best seller is offered in both bronze and stainless steel housings. Get maximum results, on any hull material, when installed with a custom-ﬁtting High-Performance Fairing. At speeds over 30 knots (34 MPH), screens continue to display clear images and solid bottom tracking.
