Upgrade your boating experience with the Furuno 525T-BSC, a reliable bronze thru-hull transducer that delivers precise depth readings and water temperature data. Designed for serious anglers and boaters who demand accuracy in challenging marine environments, this 600-watt powerhouse combines dual-frequency performance with rugged construction to help you locate fish and navigate safely.

Key Features That Set It Apart

The 525T-BSC stands out with its versatile 50/200 kHz frequencies, allowing seamless switching between wide-area scanning at 50 kHz for deep water structure and pinpoint detail at 200 kHz for shallow zones. Paired with beam angles of 45 degrees at 50 kHz and 15 degrees at 200 kHz, it paints a clear picture of the underwater world, revealing fish schools, wrecks, and bottom contours without guesswork.

• Power Output: 600 watts RMS for strong signal penetration even in murky or deep waters.
• Bronze Housing: Corrosion-resistant material thrives in saltwater, ensuring long-term durability on offshore adventures.
• Built-in Temperature Sensor: Tracks water temp changes to identify thermoclines where baitfish congregate.
• Cable Specs: 30-foot length with an 8-pin connector for straightforward integration into your existing setup.

Superior Performance in Real-World Conditions

Imagine trolling for trophy striped bass or bottom bouncing for snapper—the 525T-BSC's dual beams adapt to your needs. The wider 45-degree beam at lower frequencies covers vast areas to spot distant marks, while the narrow 15-degree high-frequency beam hones in on individual targets with exceptional resolution. Boaters report crisp separation of closely packed fish, reducing clutter and boosting catch rates during competitive tournaments.

Its thru-hull mounting pierces the hull cleanly, minimizing air bubbles and interference for stable, real-time sonar returns. Whether you're on a center console, sportfisher, or coastal cruiser, this transducer handles rough seas and variable depths up to hundreds of feet.

Effortless Installation and Maintenance

Installing the 525T-BSC is straightforward for DIYers with basic tools. Drill a precise hole matching the transducer's footprint, bed it in marine sealant, and secure with the included nut—most hulls from 1/4-inch fiberglass up accommodate it perfectly. Position it parallel to the waterline, forward of props and strakes, for optimal performance.

Keep it performing like new with simple care: rinse after saltwater exposure, inspect the ceramic face for nicks, and avoid antifouling paints that could dull sensitivity. Regular checks extend its lifespan across seasons of heavy use.

Why Anglers Trust Furuno for Transducers

Furuno's engineering shines in the 525T-BSC through proven reliability and compatibility with popular 8-pin fishfinders and sounders. It's not just about specs—it's the confidence of knowing your electronics won't falter when a big eye lights up your screen. Pair it with your chartplotter for a complete navigation suite, enhancing safety on night runs or foggy mornings.

Users rave about its sensitivity to subtle bottom hardness changes, distinguishing mud from rock, which is gold for targeting species like flounder or grouper.
