Airmar P19 – Plastic Through-Hull 500W (77/200kHz) Transducer with Tilted Element (12°) – (8-pin)

The Garmin Airmar P19 transducer has a transmit power of 500W RMS, providing reliable and precise detection.

The Airmar P19 transducer operates at two frequencies: 77 kHz and 200 kHz. This dual-frequency configuration provides versatility for fish detection and depth reading in various conditions.

Yes, the Garmin Airmar P19 is a transducer that provides accurate depth and water temperature measurements.

This through-hull transducer has a depth detection capability of up to 274 meters (900 feet), depending on water conditions and the display unit used.

The Airmar P19 transducer offers a beam width of 45° at 77 kHz for wider coverage and 15° at 200 kHz for more precise details on the seabed and fish.

The P19 transducer features a 12° tilted element. This fixed angle compensates for the deadrise angle of your hull, ensuring the sonar beam is horizontally oriented toward the seabed even if the hull is tilted. This optimizes echo return without requiring an external compensation shoe.

The Airmar P19 transducer has a low-profile design. It protrudes only about 5 mm (3/16") below the hull, minimizing drag and interference during navigation.

Yes, the Airmar P19 transducer housing is made of durable plastic and complies with ABYC H-27, ensuring durability in a marine environment.

The Airmar P19 transducer, with its plastic housing, is recommended for installation on fiberglass or metal hulls. It is imperative never to install a plastic housing on a wooden hull, as the wood’s swelling could fracture the plastic.

The Airmar P19 transducer, with its 12° tilted element, is specifically designed for hulls with a deadrise angle between 8° and 15° at the mounting location. It is critical to match the transducer’s tilt angle to your hull’s deadrise for optimal performance.

For installing the Airmar P19 transducer, drill a hole of Ø 51 mm (2 inches) from the outside of the hull. For fiberglass sandwich-type hulls, a hole of Ø 60 mm (2-3/8 inches) is required on the inside of the hull.

Yes, for optimal performance, the depth sounder must be mounted in an area where the water flow under the hull is smooth, with minimal bubbles and turbulence. Avoid locations in line or near water intakes or discharges, behind strakes, fittings, or any hull irregularities. Ensure the transducer is continuously submerged at all speeds and that the beam is not obstructed by the keel or propeller shaft. Do not mount the depth sounder where the boat may be supported during towing, launching, lifting, or storage.

During installation, the arrow on top of the transducer must point toward the keel or the centerline of the boat. This aligns the internal element's angle with the deadrise angle of your hull for optimal performance.

No, it is strongly discouraged to use a fairing block with a plastic transducer housing like the P19. The protruding sensor would be vulnerable to damage from impacts.

For correct installation of the Airmar P19 transducer, a minimum vertical space of 95 mm (3-3/4 inches) is required inside the hull for the housing body, nut tightening, and cable handling.

The Garmin Airmar P19 transducer is fitted with an 8-pin Garmin connector, designed to plug directly into compatible devices.

This transducer is compatible with Garmin fishfinders equipped with an 8-pin transducer port. This includes many models from the Garmin ECHOMAP, GPSMAP, and STRIKER series, as well as other traditional Garmin fishfinders. Please verify compatibility with your specific Garmin device model.

No, the Airmar P19 transducer is a solution designed for traditional fishfinders operating on fixed frequencies (77/200 kHz). It is not compatible with CHIRP technology, which uses a swept frequency range.

If you have questions or issues with your Airmar P19 transducer, we recommend contacting Garmin customer support or your authorized dealer. They can provide technical assistance and specific advice.
