Product catalog summary
Overview: The Airmar P79 is an in-hull transducer designed for lake and inshore saltwater fishing, suitable for small to mid-size outboard boats. It offers a power rating of 600 W and is adjustable for hull deadrise angles from 2° to 22°.
Features:
  • Adjustable to hull deadrise angles from 2° to 22°.
  • No need for drilling holes, making installation simple and convenient.
  • Recommended for solid fiberglass hulls and can be epoxied to aluminum hulls under 3.8 mm thick.
  • Suitable for planing-hull power boats, trailered boats, rigid inflatable boats (RIBS), and racing sailboats.
  • No hull protrusions, maintaining the boat's integrity.
  • Designed for boats up to 8 meters (25 feet) in length.
Installation Procedure:
  1. Mount the base flange inside the hull.
  2. Adjust the locking ring to match the hull's deadrise angle.
  3. Fill the base with non-toxic anti-freeze (propylene glycol).
  4. Lock the transducer into the base.
Technical Specifications:
  • Frequency: 50/200 kHz.
  • Beamwidth: 45° at 50 kHz and 12° at 200 kHz.
  • RMS Power: 600 W.
  • Maximum Depth Range: 206 m to 294 m at 50 kHz and 118 m to 180 m at 200 kHz.
  • Weight: 2.3 kg (5 lb).
  • Acoustic Window: Layered plastic urethane.
Performance Comparison: The P79 is a benchmark model with good performance. It is less sensitive compared to higher power models like the M260, R199, R299, and R399, which offer increased sensitivity at both 50 kHz and 200 kHz frequencies.
Design and Dimensions: The transducer features a unique adjustable-angle design ensuring optimal performance by maintaining a vertical beam orientation. Dimensions include a diameter of 98 mm and a height of 89 mm at the maximum installation angle.

P79 Traditional-1

Simple! Convenient!! Adjustable!!! The P79 is easy-to-install, accommodating hull deadrise angles up to 22º. 1. Mount the base flange inside the hull 2. Adjust the locking ring for the correct hull deadrise angle 3. Fill the base with non-toxic anti-freeze (propylene glycol) 4. Turn and lock the transducer into the base Deadrise Intuitive! The unique adjustable-angle design ensures the beam is vertically oriented for maximum echo returns and the best possible performance. Because the transducer is mounted inside the hull, it is the perfect solution for rigid inflatable boats (RIBS) and racing sailboats. The innovative mounting base allows the P79 to adjust to hull deadrise angles between 2° and 22° 600 W Adjustable Fishing Applications • Lake and inshore all-around saltwater fishing for small to mid-size outboard boats Features • Adjusts to hull deadrise angles from 2° to 22° • No holes to drill • Depth only • Recommended for solid fiberglass hulls • Epoxies to aluminum hulls under 3.8 mm (0.125”) thick • Recommended for planing-hull power boats, trailered boats, rigid inflatable boats (RIBS), and racing sailboats • No hull protrusions • Boat Size: Up t
