Factors to consider when choosing a transducer
To determine the transducer best suited to your needs, consider the following factors:
Material
The first point to measure is the material the transducer is made of.
The plastic transducer is recommended for fiberglass or metal hulls.
The stainless steel transducer is recommended for aluminum or steel hulls.
The bronze transducer is recommended for fiberglass or wooden hulls.
Expanding wood may damage plastic transducers and cause a leak. Installing a stainless steel transducer in a metal hull requires the use of a fairing, available from your dealer.

DO NOT install a metal transducer on a positive ground vessel.
Mounting type
The type of assembly is also very important.
Thru-hull transducers with fairing blocks offer the best performance, especially at high speeds.
Thru-hull transducers are ideal for towing vessels where good performance is required and there are no protrusions from the hull.
Internal transducers are fixed directly inside the hull but performance is slightly reduced.
Transducer output power
Output power refers to the intensity at which the transducer sends signals expressed in watts RMS.
Higher power increases the chances of getting returns in deep water or poor visibility. It also allows you to see more detail such as small fish and structure.
Typically, the higher the power, the greater the depth you can reach, as well as achieving maximum target separation by eliminating surface clutter.
Frequency
The accuracy with which the fishfinder locates the bottom and other objects is also determined by the frequency selected based on the depth. Raymarine Depth transducers have two frequencies: LOW (low) or HIGH (high).
HIGH
High frequency is used for shallow water and is used to get more accurate readings at high speeds. When using this frequency, the transducer scans a smaller area but displays more detail. Typically, fewer unwanted echoes and less clutter are displayed with greater target definition.
LOW
This frequency is used in deep water. Water absorbs the ultrasonic pulses at a slower rate, and larger areas can be covered before the signal becomes too weak. The result is a wider cone angle, allowing a larger portion of the bottom to be scanned. However, this also means less definition and separation of targets, and more noise. While low frequencies allow you to scan deeper into the water column, they can also result in a less clear image of the bottom.
In general, you should use the high frequency for a detailed image in shallow water and then switch to the low frequency for greater depths. The ideal solution is to display both frequencies in a split screen.
Cone angles
The transducer focuses the transmitted waves into a beam. In theory, the pulses are radiated in a cone that widens as the depth increases. In reality, the shape of the beam varies depending on the transducer and usually the pulses are also radiated outwards thus producing the side lobes. The following figures show a representation of the actual path taken by the pulses.
Low frequencies have a wider beam angle than high frequencies
However, for our purposes, we will consider the image of a cone. The signal is strongest along the center line of the cone and gradually decreases as we move away from the center. Wider angles show a larger portion of the bottom at the expense of resolution, because they disperse the transmitter power. A smaller cone can concentrate more of the transmitting power in a smaller area. Cone angles are widest at low frequencies and narrowest at high frequencies.
In summary, a larger beam can detect not only fish directly under the boat but also surrounding fish but with less target separation. A narrow beam focuses the transmitted energy to more precisely detect small details, such as fish or bottom structure but scans a smaller portion of the water.
