Description
Garmin P19 8-Pin 20° Transducer | Boat Supply Store
This thru-hull transducer is engineered for cruising powerboats and sailboats up to 30 feet requiring precise depth and temperature data with minimal hydrodynamic impact. Its low-profile, nearly flush design significantly reduces drag, while the integrated 20-degree tilted element provides inherent deadrise compensation, ensuring accurate vertical beam transmission for consistent readings. Capable of sounding depths up to 700 feet, it's optimized for hulls with moderate deadrise angles between 16-24 degrees.
Key Features
- Minimize Drag with a low-profile, nearly flush thru-hull design.
- Ensure Accurate Depth via a vertical beam and 20-degree tilted element for deadrise compensation.
- Achieve Deep Sounding up to 700' with large, sensitive ceramic elements.
- Accommodate Hull Angles between 16-24 degrees with built-in tilt.
- Simplify Installation with a right-angle cable exit for tight spaces.
- Adapt to Irregular Hulls using the included rubber washer.
- Meet Industry Standards with ABYC H-27 compliant housing.
- Report Water Temperature with the integrated sensor.

Common Concerns Answered
Will this transducer work with my existing fishfinder?
The Garmin P19 features an 8-pin connector and requires a compatible Garmin chartplotter or display unit that is equipped with an 8-pin transducer port for full functionality. Ensure your unit's specifications match this requirement before purchase.
Is the cable length sufficient for my boat?
While the Garmin P19 offers robust performance, some users have expressed a desire for a longer cable out-of-the-box. Evaluate your boat's layout to confirm the included cable length will adequately reach your display unit from the chosen hull mounting location.
I have an older Garmin unit, will this P19 work?
This P19 transducer is designed with an 8-pin connector, which is standard on many newer Garmin marine electronics. Verify that your specific Garmin unit features an 8-pin transducer port to ensure compatibility; older units with different connector types will not be compatible without an adapter.
