Airmar P66 - Sondă TA din plastic 600W (50/200kHz) + viteză la suprafață + temperatură - (8 pini)

The Airmar P66 probe is a TRIDUCER® multisensor that provides depth, surface speed, and water temperature data. It is designed to offer a detailed view of the water column and seabed structure.

This transducer has an RMS transmission power of 600 Watts.

The Airmar P66 transducer operates on two frequencies: 50 kHz and 200 kHz. These frequencies provide varied detail, with 50 kHz typically used for deeper penetration and 200 kHz for higher resolution.

The Airmar P66 transducer is made of durable plastic, designed for installation on the transom.

The Airmar P66 transducer is designed to maintain reliable operation and accurate readings up to 44 knots (approximately 81 km/h or 50 MPH).

The Airmar P66 transducer is a transom-mount transducer. It comes with an integrated mounting bracket that allows the transducer to pivot in case of impact.

For optimal performance, the transducer must be mounted in a smooth water area, free from turbulence caused by water intakes, discharges, or hull irregularities. It is best to mount it on the transom side where the propeller blades move downward, and as close as possible to the boat’s centerline, while maintaining a minimum of 75 mm (3 inches) beyond the propeller’s radius.

This transducer is recommended for boats up to 8 meters (25 feet) for optimal performance, and up to 12 meters (40 feet) in general. However, it is not recommended for boats equipped with inboard engines or stepped hulls, as these configurations can disrupt water flow around the transducer and affect its performance.

The Airmar P66 transducer mount is adjustable and can fit transom angles from 2° to 22°. It can also vertically align the sound beam on a hull with a deadrise angle up to 28°.

Yes, the mounting bracket design allows the Airmar P66 transducer to be removed without tools, making maintenance, cleaning, or storage much easier.

Yes, antifouling coating is strongly recommended, especially in saltwater, to maintain the depth sounder’s optimal performance. Airmar certifies that applying Foulfree coating does not affect transducer performance.

The Airmar P66 transducer is fitted with an 8-pin connector, specifically designed for compatibility with Garmin devices.

The Airmar P66 transducer is compatible with Garmin fishfinders and GPS/fishfinder combos that support 8-pin transducers with a power rating of 600W and operate on 50/200 kHz frequencies. It is recommended to check your Garmin device specifications to confirm compatibility.

The Airmar P66 transducer is typically supplied with a cable approximately 7.6 meters (25 feet) long, which is sufficient for most installations.

At 50 kHz, the beam angle (-3 dB) is 45°. At 200 kHz, the beam angle (-3 dB) is 11°. The wider beam at 50 kHz is ideal for fish searching over a large area and at depth, while the narrower beam at 200 kHz provides better detail definition and target separation.

Yes, the Airmar P66 transducer is recommended for versatile fishing in lakes and coastal saltwater, particularly for small to medium outboard-powered boats.

The Airmar P66 transducer mount is an integrated release plastic mount. It allows the transducer to pivot upward and disengage in the event of a frontal impact, thus protecting the transducer housing from damage.

The recessed water flow channel on the Airmar P66 transducer protects the paddlewheel from debris and impacts, ensuring more accurate speed readings and increased durability of the speed sensor.

No, the Airmar P66 transducer is a traditional dual-frequency transducer operating at 50/200 kHz. It is not a CHIRP transducer. CHIRP transducers use a different frequency sweep technology for improved target resolution and separation.

Maximum detection depth varies depending on frequency and water conditions. At 50 kHz, it can reach between 235 m and 353 m (800 to 1,200 feet). At 200 kHz, it can reach between 118 m and 206 m (400 to 700 feet).
