Airmar P79 NMEA 2000 235 kHz In-Hull Transducer
The Airmar P79 in-hull transducer is a great choice for accurate depth readings. It can easily adapt to hull deadrise angles up to 22°. This special design makes sure the beam is vertically oriented, allowing it to receive echos well and give precise depth measurements. Unlike regular 'puck' transducers, the P79 has a base that's bonded to the hull and filled with liquid. The separate transducer attaches to the base with a twist lock. The liquid helps sound waves travel more efficiently, delivering top - notch performance.
Its unique adjustable - angle design maximizes echo returns, offering the best performance. Since it's mounted inside the hull, it's ideal for rigid inflatable boats (RIBS) and racing sailboats.

Using the Airmar P79 NMEA 2000 235 kHz In - Hull Transducer is straightforward. First, choose a suitable location inside the hull, considering the hull deadrise angle (it can adapt up to 22°). Bond the base to the hull and fill it with the provided liquid. Then, attach the separate transducer to the base using the twist - lock mechanism. Connect the 6M (20’) NMEA 2000® cable and connector to your boat's system. When using, the transducer will send sound waves through the liquid in the base to measure the depth. Note that this product is mainly for depth measurement only. It's recommended for solid fiberglass hulls and can be used on planing - hull power boats, trailered boats, and rigid inflatable boats. For aluminum hulls under 0.38 mm (0.150”) thick, you can epoxy the base to it. Also, there's no need to drill holes in the hull, which is a plus. As for maintenance, keep the cable and connector clean and free from damage. Check the bond of the base to the hull regularly. If you have any issues or concerns, don't return it to the original purchase point. Instead, contact the manufacturer directly.
