Product catalog summary
Overview
The B258 is a versatile 1 kW thru-hull transducer designed for various fishing applications, including inshore and blue-water trolling, as well as deep-water bottom and structure fishing up to 500 meters (1,640 feet). It is particularly recommended for sportfishing boats over 9 meters (30 feet) and small to mid-size commercial fishing boats.
Features
  • Elliptical beam for increased catch at all depths.
  • Includes depth and fast-response water-temperature sensor.
  • Four 50/200 kHz ceramics for greater sensitivity compared to single ceramic in 600 W units.
Performance
The B258 is 25 times more sensitive than a single-element 50/200 kHz transducer, enhancing the performance of 600 W fishfinders, especially at 50 kHz. It uses Airmar’s unique ceramic-element construction to provide narrow beams that distinguish individual fish and bottom fish from their habitat at depths up to 670 meters (2,200 feet).
Technical Specifications
  • Beamwidth: 15° x 21° at 50 kHz, 3° x 5° at 200 kHz.
  • RMS Power: 1 kW.
  • Maximum Depth Range: 441 m to 647 m at 50 kHz, 206 m to 294 m at 200 kHz.
  • Weight: 3.6 kg (7.9 lb).
  • Hull Deadrise: Up to 26° with fairing.
Comparison with Other Models
  • B258 is 25 times more sensitive at 50 kHz and 16 times at 200 kHz compared to 600 W models like B45, B744V, and B744VL.
  • Compared to B260 and SS260, it is less sensitive but still offers significant performance improvements over 600 W models.
Installation and Usage
For optimal performance, the B258 should be installed with Airmar’s custom fit High-Performance Fairing. It provides clear images and a clean bottom trace at speeds over 30 knots (34 MPH).

B258 Thru-Hull-1

The Cost Effective Choice The B258 is 25 times more sensitive than a single-element 50/200 kHz transducer This innovative 1 kW transducer makes 600 W fishfinders perform like their more powerful big brothers—especially at 50 kHz. How does it do it? The B258 uses Airmar's new and unique ceramic-element construction. The resulting narrow beams will clearly distinguish individual fish and bottom fish from their habitat at depths down to 670 m (2,200'). Streamlined Performance Maximize performance by installing the B258 with Airmar's custom fit High-Performance Fairing. At speeds over 30 knots (34 MPH), screen displays show clear images and a clean bottom trace. Thru-Hull 1 kW Entry-Level Fishing Applications ■ The versatile 1 kW transducer for all types of fishing ■ Inshore and blue-water trolling ■ Deep-water bottom and structure fishing up to 500 m (1,640') Features ■ Elliptical beam covers more bottom area thus increasing your catch at all depths ■ Depth and fast-response water-temperature sensor ■ Recommended for sportfishing boats above 9 m (30') and small to mid-size commercial fishing boats ■ Four 50/200 kHz ceramics as compared to one ceramic in 600 W units ■ Provides greater surface area resulting in better sensitivity
