Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install the M78716 on a metal hull boat?

No, bronze transducers should never be installed on metal hulls due to electrolytic corrosion risks. Use plastic transducers like the P120 for aluminum or steel hulls.

What's the maximum boat speed this transducer can handle?

The M78716 accurately measures speeds up to 45 knots (52 MPH), making it suitable for high-performance vessels and racing applications.

Do I need a fairing block for installation?

A fairing block may be required depending on your hull deadrise angle. The M78716 accommodates up to 22 degrees without a fairing block, but proper professional installation assessment is recommended.

Can I clean the transducer without removing it from the boat?

Yes, the M78716 features a retractable core design that allows easy cleaning and maintenance from inside the boat without hauling out or diving.

What instruments are compatible with this transducer?

The M78716 works with Raymarine ST70 (requires Speed Pod), ST60+, ST290, i40/i50 Speed, iTC-5, and legacy analog instruments. Check your specific instrument compatibility before purchase.

Does this transducer provide both speed and temperature readings?

Yes, the M78716 is a dual-function transducer that provides both accurate speed measurements (2-45 knots) and water temperature readings through embedded microelectronics.
