Easy and Secure Installation

The P79S is designed for hassle-free installation. The included plastic mounting base aligns perfectly with your boat’s centerline and is securely placed inside the hull. Filled with non-toxic antifreeze, the base ensures optimal transmission through solid fiberglass and surrounding water. The adjustable transducer allows for precise deadrise offset, directing the beam straight down for maximum echo returns. Best of all, installation can be performed without removing your boat from the water and without drilling any holes, preserving your vessel’s integrity.

Smart Sensor Technology

Airmar’s Smart™ Sensors incorporate embedded microelectronics, placing the transducer element and signal processor merely millimeters apart. This close integration allows the P79S to process depth signals internally, transmitting only the necessary data through a single cable to your network or display system. Whether you choose the analog sensor or the digital Smart Sensor with NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000® output, the P79S offers versatility to meet your marine electronics setup.

Seamless Connectivity

The P79S Smart™ Sensor integrates effortlessly with your boat’s existing marine network. Available in both NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 standards, it ensures compatibility with a wide range of displays and navigation systems. The NMEA 2000 certified cable assembly provides reliable data transmission, while the option to use either standard allows for flexibility based on your specific equipment requirements.

Benefits of In-Hull Installation

Installing the transducer in-hull offers several advantages:

• No protruding features on the hull, maintaining your boat’s sleek profile.
• Ideal for trailered or lifted boats where external transducers might be cumbersome.
• Enhanced protection for the transducer, reducing the risk of damage.

Perfect for Smaller Boats

Tailored for vessels up to 25 feet with solid fiberglass hulls, the P79S Smart™ Sensor provides reliable depth monitoring without taking up valuable exterior space. Its compact design and efficient performance make it an excellent choice for recreational boaters seeking advanced depth intelligence.
