Bronze Standard or Bronze Professional?
Having chosen the EchoPilot Bronze for
your boat the only remaining choice iswhich transducer is most appropriate. Our larger professional transducer comeswith a bronze 2” BSP thru hull fitting andwith 3” of useable thread is excellent formost larger boats. The standard transducerfits through a glass fibre Polypropylenethru-hull with 1” of useable thread. Mostflat bottomed GRP hulls can take thestandard transducer.If however you have a thick hull, or asignificant degree of dead rise requiringwedges or chocks to keep the transducer
vertical then the professional is the choiceto make.
