Covering All Angles!

Airmar is proud to introduce the industry’s first 1 kW twin
wide-beam, 50 kHz and 200 kHz dual-frequency
transducer. This unique design gives extra beamwidth to
spot more fish in shallow to mid-water depths. Aimed at
the commercial and sport-fishing markets, this thru-hull
provides four times the beamwidth at 200 kHz than
other high-performance transducers. This means
marking game fish or bait in a larger area, thus increasing
the catch.

The Ultimate Split-Screen “Tunaducer”

Since the beamwidths are the same at both frequencies,
a split-screen fishfinder display will clearly show the same
water column and bottom coverage. Fish will also
appear as arches of the same size and position. More
fish will be marked while trolling or underway. At
anchor, see which direction the baits and chum are
flowing in the current.

• Identical wide 25° beamwidths
at 50 kHz and 200 kHz

• Provides 4 times the
beamwidth at 200 kHz than
other high-performance
transducers

• Wide-beam is ideal for marking
bait fish

200 kHz beam50 kHz beam

• Same targets appear in both
frequencies

• Excellent fish detection in
shallow to mid-water depths

• Interfaces to any 600 W or
1 kW sounder

Cutting-Edge Fairing

The custom-fit High-Performance Fairing will give
crystal-clear imaging at speeds up to 30 knots (34 MPH).
And since the SS270W fits into the popular B260 fairing
pocket, it’s easy to upgrade existing installations.
Possibilities expand with the SS270W twin wide-beam
transducer.

• Retrofits into existing B260
fairing pocket

• Built-in temperature sensor

• Xducer ID™ feature
