Garmin P19 Nylon 20° Tilt Transducer – 8-Pin

Tilted Element Thru-Hull

Reduce Drag

The Garmin P19 Nylon 20° Tilt Transducer is well-known for enhancing the boating experience by providing precise depth readings. Its sleek, low-profile design minimizes hydrodynamic resistance, which is particularly beneficial for sailing and cruising where maintaining speed and efficiency is important. The transducer's ability to perform deep echosounding up to 206M (700′) is advantageous for navigators and fishermen who require accurate seabed measurements. With minimal protrusion of only 5mm (2/10″) outside the hull, the likelihood of entanglement with seaweed or debris is significantly reduced.

The built-in 20° tilted ceramic element is a noteworthy feature, allowing for compensation of the hull's deadrise. By doing so, it ensures the emitted sonar signals are directed straight down, which is essential for precise depth measurements and obstacle detection beneath the hull. Consequently, this transducer is not just a practical tool but also an essential safety feature, preventing groundings and enabling safe navigation through unknown waters.

Due to its nylon construction, the transducer is not only durable but also resistant to marine growth, an important consideration for maintaining performance without frequent cleaning.
