Imagine heading out on the water, chasing trophy fish in depths that demand precision and power. That's where the Furuno 3kW 50kHz transducer shines, delivering crystal-clear sonar images that help you spot structure, bait schools, and big game from afar. Built by a brand with decades of marine innovation, this rugged performer combines high-output power with a focused beam to cut through water like a knife, making it a go-to for serious anglers and professionals alike.
What sets it apart? It's not just specs on paper—it's real-world reliability forged in fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) housing that laughs off corrosion and rough seas. Whether you're running a charter or dialing in your weekend setup, this transducer elevates your sonar game without the fuss.
At 50kHz, this transducer excels in deep-water scanning, penetrating hundreds of feet to reveal bottom contours, wrecks, and fish hiding in the abyss. The 3kW power rating means stronger signals for sharper returns, even in challenging conditions like thermoclines or heavy currents. Paired with a 9° x 14° beamwidth, it provides a narrow fore-aft spread for pinpoint targeting while offering wider side coverage—perfect for marking fish arches that others might miss.
Recreational boaters love how it simplifies spotting reefs or drop-offs, while commercial ops appreciate the consistent performance that boosts catch rates. It's like having a window into the underwater world, minus the guesswork.
Designed for external mounting—think transom or hull deadrise—this transducer goes on with minimal tools and downtime. Prep your surface, apply marine sealant, and secure it flush for optimal water flow. The 15-meter cable gives flexibility for displays mounted anywhere on deck, and no plug means custom wiring to match your system.
Pro tip: Angle it slightly downward (around 10-15°) for best results on planing hulls, ensuring the ceramic element stays submerged at speed. Weighing in at about 17 pounds and sized compactly, it won't throw off your boat's balance. Most installs wrap up in under an hour, getting you back on the water faster.
"Switched to this from a weaker unit—night and day difference in target separation at 400 feet." – Experienced offshore captain
From coastal trolling for snapper to bluewater hunts for tuna, this 50kHz powerhouse adapts effortlessly. Pair it with mid-to-high-end sounders for side/down-scan hybrids, or run solo for basic CHIRP bottom lock. It's forgiving on smaller vessels yet scales up for larger workboats needing reliable depth data.
Maintenance is straightforward: Rinse after every trip, inspect the face for marine growth, and store dry in off-seasons. That limited warranty? It's Furuno's promise of quality, covering defects so you fish worry-free.
It's optimized for external mounting, such as transom or thru-hull on fiberglass, aluminum, or wood hulls. Ensure a fairing block for high-speed operation to keep it in clean water flow.
The narrow 9-degree fore-aft beam offers excellent vertical resolution for distinguishing fish from bottom structure, while the wider 14-degree port-starboard spread covers more ground without losing detail.
It features a 49-foot (15-meter) bare-wire cable for flexible, custom installations—no proprietary connector means easy adaptation to your existing sonar head unit.
Absolutely. The 50kHz frequency and 3kW power excel at depths over 1,000 feet, making it ideal for offshore species like swordfish or grouper where signal strength matters.
It weighs approximately 17 pounds (7.8kg) and measures 6.3 x 8.3 x 3.8 inches (160 x 210 x 96mm), compact enough for most boats without major modifications.
Rinse with fresh water after use, check for fouling on the faceplate, and avoid impacts. The FRP housing is low-maintenance, but annual inspections ensure peak performance.
Lower frequencies like 50kHz prioritize depth and power over resolution, perfect for scanning vast areas quickly and punching through water column noise in open ocean conditions.
For over 70 years, Furuno has been continuously imagining and creating new solutions, making new marine electronic equipment with the goal of offering both performance and simplicity for everyone. Not only for men and women who make a living on the seas, but also for those who simply want to enjoy the boating lifestyle. For them, Furuno has become synonymous with quality, performance and reliability.
