Product Details

The Si-Tex BT87H1KW-12 is a high-performance bronze thru-hull CHIRP transducer designed for serious anglers and boaters who demand accurate depth and temperature readings. This low-profile transducer features a 12-degree tilted element optimized for deadrise angles between 8 and 15 degrees, ensuring optimal sonar performance on a wide range of hull configurations.

Key Features:

  • 1000-watt high-frequency CHIRP technology operating at 130-210 kHz for exceptional target separation and clarity
  • Bronze housing construction for superior durability and corrosion resistance in saltwater environments
  • Low-profile design minimizes drag and reduces turbulence
  • 12-degree tilted element for proper acoustic alignment on 8-15 degree deadrise hulls
  • Narrow beamwidth ranging from 13 to 8 degrees at -3 dB for precise bottom tracking
  • Maximum depth capability of 1000 feet
  • Integrated temperature sensor for accurate water temperature monitoring
  • 30-foot cable with Echonautics connector included
  • Compact dimensions: 4.8 inches diameter x 5.2 inches height
  • Requires 3.45-inch diameter hole for installation

This transducer delivers the power and precision needed for deep-water fishing and navigation, with CHIRP technology providing superior target definition compared to traditional single-frequency transducers. The bronze construction ensures long-term reliability in harsh marine conditions.

I had ordered some CM-19546-A2 (friction-modifier for posi-traction differentials with carbon-fiber clutches) from CJ Pony Parts, and it arrived broken and had all leaked out. I spent $25.42 for nothing, and they still have not responded to my complaint. I bought 2 bottles from THMotorsports in hopes that ONE would arrive undamaged. They arrived in a box, not a bubble mailer like CJ, and both bottles were intact and undamaged. If you're going to buy specialty automotive fluids online, THMotorsports is the better place to do so.

As described and rapid delivery.

Good, No issues.
