Description
Garmin P19 12° Transducer | Boat Supply Store
This thru-hull transducer is engineered for boats with moderate hull angles, providing precise depth readings by compensating for deadrise up to 15°. Its Tilted Element™ technology ensures a vertical beam, even on vessels with a fixed 12° hull angle, delivering accurate echosounding data up to 206 meters (700'). The minimal 5mm (2/10") hull protrusion reduces drag, making it ideal for cruising powerboats and sailboats up to 9 meters (30').
Key Features
- Built-in deadrise compensation with Tilted Element™ technology
- Low-profile housing to minimize drag
- Accurate depth readings up to 206M (700')
- Durable plastic housing
- Fixed 12° tilt for 8°-15° hull deadrise
- Right-angle cable exit for protected installation
- Optional depth and temperature sensing
- ABYC H-27 compliant housing for safety and reliability

Common Concerns Answered
Does this transducer offer speed sensing?
The Garmin P19 is designed for depth and optional temperature readings and does not include speed sensing capabilities, which is a distinguishing factor compared to some other transducers.
Is the rubber washer difficult to install on irregular hulls?
While the included rubber washer is designed to assist with irregular hull surfaces, some users have reported minor difficulties; however, it is generally considered a beneficial component for achieving a proper seal.
Will this transducer provide accurate readings on my boat with moderate deadrise?
Yes, the Garmin P19's Tilted Element™ technology with a fixed 12° tilt is specifically engineered to provide accurate vertical beam readings on hulls with deadrise angles between 8° and 15°.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum depth range of the Garmin P19 transducer?
The Garmin P19 transducer is rated for a maximum depth of 206 meters (700 feet).
What hull deadrise is the Garmin P19 transducer designed for?
The Garmin P19 transducer is designed to accommodate hull deadrise angles ranging from 8° to 15°.
Does the Garmin P19 transducer measure water temperature?
Yes, the Garmin P19 transducer is available in a version that measures both depth and water temperature.
What type of boats is the Garmin P19 transducer suitable for?
The Garmin P19 transducer is suitable for cruising powerboats and sailboats up to 9 meters (30') in length.
What is the advantage of the P19's tilted element design?
The P19's Tilted Element™ design provides built-in deadrise compensation, ensuring the sonar beam remains vertical and delivers accurate depth readings even on hulls with moderate angles, minimizing the effect of hull orientation on performance.
