Airmar P319 – Plaukiojančio tipo plastikinė 600W (77/200kHz) srovė su 12° pasvirimo elementu (8 kontaktų)

The Garmin Airmar P319 is a 600W RMS plastic through-hull transducer designed for depth and temperature sensing. It operates at 50/200 kHz frequencies and features a 12° tilted element to compensate for hull drift angle. Its low-profile design minimizes drag, protruding only 5 mm (2/10") from the hull.

The Airmar P319 transducer has an RMS power output of 600W. It operates at two frequencies: 50 kHz and 200 kHz. The 50 kHz frequency is ideal for deep-water detection, while 200 kHz provides higher resolution and finer details in shallower waters.

The Airmar P319 depth sounder offers different depth detection capabilities depending on the frequency used:

At 50 kHz, it can detect down to approximately 366 m (1,200 ft). At 200 kHz, it provides detailed readings down to approximately 213 m (700 ft).

Yes, the Airmar P319 transducer is equipped with an integrated temperature sensor, allowing it to provide both depth and water temperature data.

The Airmar P319 transducer offers different beam angles for each frequency:

At 50 kHz, the beam angle is 45° (-3dB), providing wide coverage for deep detection. At 200 kHz, the beam angle is 12° (-3dB), delivering a narrower beam for precise details and better target separation.

The low-profile design of the Airmar P319 transducer is a major advantage, especially for sailboats and planing powerboats. With only 5 mm (2/10") protruding from the hull, it significantly reduces drag, which can improve boat performance and reduce fuel consumption.

The Airmar P319 transducer housing is made of plastic. This material choice is important because it is specifically recommended for fiberglass or metal hulls. Using a plastic housing on these hull types prevents electrolytic corrosion that could occur with a bronze housing on a metal hull.

Yes, the Airmar P319 transducer is supplied with an integrated cable. The connector is an 8-pin type, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Garmin fishfinders and multifunction displays.

The Airmar P319 transducer, with its plastic housing, is specifically recommended for installation on fibreglass or metal hulls. It must never be installed on a wooden hull, as the swelling of the wood could crack the plastic housing.

No, installing the Airmar P319 transducer on a wooden hull is strongly discouraged. The transducer’s housing is plastic, and wood swelling can exert excessive pressure, risking plastic fracture and compromising the installation’s watertight integrity.

The Airmar P319 transducer is designed for optimal performance on hulls with a drift angle up to 7°. It can accommodate hull drift angles up to 12° due to its tilted element, but best performance will be achieved with a lower angle.

Yes, the Airmar P319 transducer is fully compatible with Garmin fishfinders and multifunction displays that feature an 8-pin transducer port. It is also sold under the Garmin brand, ensuring seamless integration.

Yes, the Airmar P319 transducer, with its plastic housing, is suitable for installation on a metal hull. Its plastic material prevents electrolytic corrosion that could occur if a bronze housing were used on a metal hull.

Yes, the Airmar P319 transducer complies with ABYC H-27 standards. This compliance confirms its quality, safety, and reliability for marine installation.

To install the Airmar P319 transducer, drill a 51 mm (2 inch) hole in the boat's hull. It is recommended to start with a 3 mm (1/8") pilot hole from the inside.

To choose the best location, follow these guidelines:

Ensure the water under the hull is smooth, with minimal bubbles and turbulence, especially at high speed.The transducer must remain continuously immersed at all speeds.The transducer beam must not be obstructed by the keel or propeller shaft.Keep the transducer away from interference sources (propellers, shafts, other machinery, other fishfinders, cables).Select a location with minimal drift angle so the beam is directed toward the bottom.Ensure adequate vertical space inside the boat (minimum 95 mm or 3-3/4") for housing and clamping.

Yes, applying a water-based antifouling coating is mandatory in saltwater to maintain the depth sounder's optimal performance. Airmar certifies that applying Foulfree, a non-stick antifouling coating, does not degrade the transducer's performance and protects it from marine growth.

No, using a fairing with a plastic transducer housing like the P319 is not recommended. The protruding sensor would be vulnerable to damage from impacts, negating the fairing's benefits.

To correctly install the Airmar P319 transducer, a minimum vertical space of 95 mm (3-3/4") is required inside the hull. This space is necessary for housing the transducer, tightening the hull nut, and installation access.
