Imagine gliding through choppy waters on your tournament sport fishing boat, confident that your sonar is painting a crystal-clear picture of the depths below. The Furuno 526TID-LTD/20, featuring Airmar's renowned B164 tilted element design, delivers exactly that. This 1kW powerhouse combines dual-frequency precision at 50/200 kHz with a built-in temperature sensor, all housed in a low-profile bronze thru-hull mount. What sets it apart? The innovative 20° tilted ceramic element inside the housing automatically compensates for your hull's deadrise—perfect for angles between 16° and 24°—without needing a bulky fairing.
Crafted for serious anglers who trailer their vessels frequently, this transducer protrudes just 0.25 inches (6.35 mm) from the hull. Rest easy knowing it withstands trailer rollers and bunks without a scratch, making it a game-changer for high-speed, trailered boats chasing big game offshore.
Anglers report consistently stronger bottom tracking and fewer false readings compared to standard thru-hulls, thanks to the tilted element's forward-facing energy focus—keeping your beam perpendicular to the sea floor even on planing hulls.
Installing the 526TID-LTD/20 is straightforward for DIY-savvy boat owners. Select a hull location forward of the prop and stable in rough seas. Drill your thru-hull hole, thread the 3.75-foot shaft, and secure the low-profile bronze housing. The key? Orient the top arrow toward your keel—whether port or starboard side—for optimal element tilt. No fairing required, saving time and reducing drag.
Pro Tip: Pair it with high-output sounders to maximize its 1kW potential. In testing on V-hull bass boats and offshore centers, users note immediate improvements in target separation at speeds over 30 knots.
For trailered tournament rigs, this transducer shines by eliminating fairing vulnerabilities. Its flush design minimizes hydrodynamic interference, preserving your boat's speed and fuel efficiency. Expect enhanced resolution on wrecks, ledges, and schools—vital for spotting trophy stripers or pelagics before competitors.
Beyond fishing, cruisers appreciate the reliable depth and temp data for safe navigation in unfamiliar waters. The B164's bronze construction ensures longevity, often outlasting lesser models in harsh marine conditions.
