XSONIC Airmar P19 20 Degree Sonde

The XSONIC AIRMAR P19 20 DEGREE is a through-hull transducer made of plastic, designed by Airmar and marketed under the XSONIC range by Navico. It is used to measure water depth and temperature.

The transmission power of this depth sounder ranges from 250 W to 500 W.

This depth sounder can detect depth down to 274 meters (approximately 900 feet).

Yes, it is equipped with a water temperature sensor that provides a fast response.

Airmar’s Tilted Element™ technology integrates the transducer’s ceramic element at a fixed angle (here 20°) inside the housing. This directs the acoustic beam vertically toward the seabed, compensating for the boat’s hull angle without requiring external fairing.

This is a through-hull transducer, meaning it is installed by drilling a hole through the boat's hull.

The transducer is made of plastic.

No, the "20 DEGREE" refers to the fixed angle of the ceramic element inside the transducer housing. This angle is designed to compensate for a specific hull deadrise angle, directing the beam downward.

Yes, the XSONIC AIRMAR P19 20 DEGREE transducer is designed to provide reliable depth and water temperature data even when the boat is sailing at high speeds.

The primary function of this depth sounder is to provide accurate data on water depth and temperature for navigation and fishing systems.

It is compatible with fiberglass and metal hulls.

This transducer is optimized for vessels with a deadrise angle between 16° and 24°.

No, the XSONIC AIRMAR P19 20 DEGREE transducer is not recommended for installation on wooden hulls.

Yes, as a Navico XSONIC transducer, it is designed to be compatible with depth sounder systems and multifunction displays from Navico Group brands (such as Lowrance, Simrad, B&G) that support the 200/83 kHz frequencies.

Installation involves drilling a hole in the hull, inserting the transducer, then securing it firmly with the mounting hardware and ensuring a perfect seal to prevent any water ingress.

Yes, it is essential to check that your boat’s deadrise angle is between 16° and 24° so that the 20°-tilted element of the depth sounder compensates effectively and ensures optimal performance.

The transducer must be installed in an area of the hull where the water flow is most laminar and free of turbulence. Avoid areas near propellers, keels, through-hulls, or any other appendages that could create air bubbles or disturbances.

No, thanks to its Tilted Element™ design with a 20° tilted element, the P19 20 DEGREE transducer is designed to be installed directly through the hull without requiring additional fairing to compensate for deadrise angle, provided the deadrise angle is within the recommended range of 16° to 24°.
