Raymarine E66073 P74 Trolling Motor Mount Depth And Temp

Equip your boat with reliable underwater awareness using the Raymarine P74 transducer, a game-changer for anglers who demand precision from their trolling motors. This versatile sensor delivers crystal-clear depth readings and accurate water temperature data, helping you pinpoint fish-holding structures and stay ahead of the action on any waterway.

Why Choose the P74 for Trolling Motor or In-Hull Mounting?

Designed for serious freshwater pursuits, the P74 stands out with its dual-frequency capability, switching seamlessly between wide-area scanning at 50 kHz and pinpoint detail at 200 kHz. Whether you're navigating shallow bays or probing deeper channels, this transducer ensures you never miss the bottom contour or thermocline shifts that schooling fish love.

• Adaptable Installation: Secure it directly to your trolling motor shaft with the included band clamp for drag-free performance, or embed it in-hull for a sleek, permanent setup on solid fiberglass hulls.
• Rugged Build: Crafted from durable urethane, it withstands the rigors of repeated launches, rough waters, and constant vibration without compromising signal quality.
• Proven Depth Performance: Reach up to 1,200 feet in low-frequency mode or 700 feet in high, giving you confidence from skinny water to offshore edges.

Anglers rave about how the P74's wide 45-degree beam at 50 kHz covers massive swaths for quick bottom mapping, while the narrow 11-degree beam at 200 kHz hones in on wrecks, drop-offs, and bait balls with surgical accuracy. Paired with temperature sensing, you'll track seasonal patterns and locate those prime feeding zones where walleye or bass stack up.

Key Features That Deliver Real-World Results

Installation Tips for Peak Performance

Getting the P74 right from the start maximizes your sonar returns. For trolling motor setups, position it just below the shaft's cavitation zone, facing straight down—avoid prop wash interference. In-hull installs shine on flat-bottomed or low-deadrise boats; fair it into a bed of marine sealant, ensuring no air pockets trap bubbles that scatter your signal.

Pro tip: Test in shallow water post-install to verify bottom lock. Fine-tune your fishfinder's gain and frequency based on water clarity—wide beam for murky shallows, narrow for clear deep water. Regular cleaning keeps the face pristine, preventing algae buildup from dulling echoes.

Perfect for Bass Boats, Walleye Rigs, and More

From spotting submerged timber on bass lakes to graphing suspended crappie in reservoirs, the P74 elevates your electronics game. Its temperature readouts help time those post-front bites when fish chase warmer inflows. Compact and low-profile, it won't snag lines or foul your motor's swing, keeping you focused on the strike zone.
