Advanced In-Hull Depth Sensing Without Hull Penetration
The Furuno 235-IHF revolutionizes depth sensing with cutting-edge in-hull technology that eliminates the need for through-hull installation. This professional-grade digital depth sensor uses advanced 235kHz sonar technology and NMEA 2000 connectivity to deliver precise depth measurements up to 150 meters while maintaining complete hull integrity. Built with proven Airmar P79 housing design and featuring layered plastic urethane acoustic window technology.
The 235-IHF's innovative in-hull design bonds directly to the interior hull surface, transmitting sonar signals through advanced acoustic window technology. This eliminates the risk of through-hull leaks while providing accurate depth readings through fiberglass hulls with deadrise angles from 0° to 22°.
Native NMEA 2000 connectivity ensures seamless integration with modern marine electronics networks. The sensor provides real-time depth data with 1-second update intervals and supports full plug-and-play compatibility with NMEA 2000 certified marine electronics.
The 235kHz frequency delivers exceptional bottom detection and resolution, providing reliable depth measurements from 0.5 to 150 meters. The 7° beamwidth ensures accurate readings while the advanced digital processing eliminates noise and interference common in analog systems.
In-hull installation eliminates the complexity and risk associated with through-hull fittings:
The layered plastic urethane acoustic window provides optimal sonar transmission through fiberglass hulls while maintaining structural integrity. This proprietary technology ensures consistent performance across various hull materials and thicknesses.
DeviceNet cable with 5-pin connector provides:
The 235-IHF delivers professional-grade accuracy with advanced digital signal processing that filters out noise and interference. The 1 Hz update rate provides smooth, consistent depth readings for navigation safety and bottom tracking applications.
Engineered to work effectively with solid fiberglass hulls having deadrise angles up to 22°. The compact P79 housing design accommodates tight bilge spaces while the acoustic window technology maintains performance through various hull configurations.
Built to withstand harsh marine conditions with:
The 235-IHF meets stringent international marine electronics standards:
Suitable for commercial and recreational vessels requiring reliable depth sensing without hull penetration, including charter boats, fishing vessels, and recreational craft in regions with strict hull integrity requirements.
In-hull mounting uses advanced acoustic window technology to transmit sonar signals through the hull material without requiring holes. While through-hull provides slightly better performance, in-hull offers significant installation advantages and eliminates leak risks.
The sensor works best with solid fiberglass hulls having deadrise angles from 0° to 22°. Cored hulls, metal hulls, or hulls with significant deadrise angles may not provide optimal acoustic coupling.
The 235-IHF is primarily designed for depth measurement and navigation safety. While it provides bottom detection, dedicated fishfinders offer better fish detection capabilities and higher resolution for fishing applications.
Installation requires proper surface preparation, marine-grade adhesive or mounting hardware, and careful positioning for optimal acoustic coupling. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper performance and avoid installation issues.
Yes, the NMEA 2000 output is industry-standard and compatible with any NMEA 2000 certified marine electronics including chartplotters, MFDs, and instrument displays from various manufacturers.
The 235-IHF requires proper NMEA 2000 network installation with backbone power supply and termination resistors. The sensor draws 200mA and has a Load Equivalency Number (LEN) of 4, which must be considered in network power calculations. Professional marine electronics installation ensures optimal network performance and compliance with NMEA standards.
