Furuno B60 20 Low Profile Bronze Thru-hull Transducer with Temp
Best thru-hull transducer for boats with 16 to 24-degree deadrise hulls.
The Furuno B60 20 is a low-profile bronze thru-hull transducer designed for boats with hull deadrise angles between 16 and 24 degrees. Its tilted element design compensates for hull angles, ensuring accurate depth readings. This transducer operates at 600 Watts with dual frequencies (50/200 kHz) and includes integrated temperature sensing. It features a durable bronze construction and a 30-foot cable with a 10-pin connector, making it an ideal choice for reliable fish finding on compatible vessels.

What customers say
Customer sentiment for the Furuno B60 20 Low Profile Bronze Thru-hull Transducer is overwhelmingly positive, positioning it as a premium, high-performance upgrade essential for serious anglers and boaters. Users consistently praise the transducer's exceptional clarity and reliable bottom tracking, especially when paired with compatible Furuno or other high-quality sounder units. The transition from a transom-mount to this thru-hull unit is frequently described as a 'game-changer,' noting significant improvements in depth penetration and target separation, even at higher cruising speeds where lesser transducers often struggle to maintain a lock. The robust bronze construction is a major selling point, assuring users of long-term durability and resistance to corrosion, which helps justify the higher initial investment. The integrated 20-degree tilted element is highly effective for hulls with significant deadrise (16-24 degrees), ensuring the beam is correctly aimed straight down, provided the user selects the correct model for their vessel. While the performance receives near-universal acclaim, the primary point of friction is the installation process. Drilling a large hole in the hull is intimidating for DIY users, and professional installation adds to the overall cost. However, customers generally view this complexity as an inherent requirement of thru-hull mounting, not a flaw of the B60 20 itself. The consensus is that this transducer is a reliable, high-performing investment that significantly elevates the boat's fish-finding capabilities, making it a highly recommended component for those prioritizing accuracy and reliability on the water.
Know before you buy
The tilted element allows the transducer to point straight down even when mounted on a hull with a deadrise. This ensures the sonar beam remains vertical, providing more accurate depth and fish-finding data compared to standard flat-mounted transducers.
The B60 20 is specifically engineered for hulls with a deadrise angle between 16 and 24 degrees. If your boat's hull angle falls outside of this range, you will need a different model to ensure the beam is directed correctly.
Yes, this transducer includes an integrated sensor that tracks both depth and water temperature. It transmits this data directly to your compatible Furuno fish finder display.
Yes, the bronze thru-hull housing is suitable for fiberglass or wood hulls. However, it should not be used on metal hulls due to the risk of electrolytic corrosion.
The 50 kHz frequency provides a wider beam for searching larger areas and deeper water, while the 200 kHz frequency offers a narrower beam for higher resolution and better detail in shallower water. Having both allows you to switch between broad coverage and high-detail imaging.
For most center console and mid-sized fishing boats, 30 feet is sufficient to reach from the hull mounting location to the helm. If your specific boat layout requires a longer run, you may need to purchase a compatible extension cable.
