Garmin Airmar P79 Transducer - 8-Pin 600W With Adjustable Deadrise Angle

About This Product

Boaters and fishermen, this Garmin Airmar P79 transducer is serious business for your fishfinder setup. The 8-pin 600W power rating gives you plenty of capability, with a depth range of 800 to 1,200 feet that covers most inland and coastal fishing situations. The operating frequency of 50 to 200 kHz is versatile for different conditions, and the beam width adjusts from 45 to 12 degrees depending on your settings. What's really useful is the adjustable deadrise angle from 0 to 22 degrees - this lets you properly align the transducer to your boat's hull for optimal performance. The through-hull design means it's installed permanently through your boat's hull, which typically gives better performance than transom-mounted transducers. The quality is exactly what you'd expect from Airmar - they're known for making some of the best transducers in the industry. Installation does require drilling through your hull, so you'll want to be comfortable with that or hire a professional. But once it's properly installed, you get reliable, clear readings that help you locate fish and understand the bottom structure. It's compatible with various Garmin chartplotter systems, making it a great upgrade if you're serious about your fishing electronics. The performance is consistent and the build quality feels industrial-grade - this isn't some cheap plastic unit that'll fail after one season.
