Humminbird XAP-9-20 Angled Puck Transducer

Upgrade your fishing setup with a reliable inside-hull transducer designed specifically for boats with angled bottoms. This angled puck model ensures your sonar pulses shoot straight downward, delivering crisp, accurate readings even on hulls with significant deadrise. No need to drill holes through your boat—simply mount it securely inside and let it work its magic through the fiberglass.

Perfect for Angled Hulls: How It Overcomes Common Sonar Challenges

Boat hulls aren't all flat; many feature a deadrise angle greater than 15 degrees for better performance in rough waters. A standard flat transducer on these hulls tilts the sonar cone awkwardly, scattering signals and muddying your fish-finding view. This angled puck transducer corrects that by matching your hull's slope, keeping the beam perpendicular to the water. Anglers report sharper bottom contours, precise fish arches, and fewer false echoes, turning frustrating blank screens into productive fishing sessions.

Effortless Inside-Hull Mounting for Any Fiberglass Boat

Installation is straightforward and boat-friendly. Clean a smooth section of your hull—avoid strakes, ribs, or fittings—then secure the puck with marine-grade epoxy or adhesive. For best results:

• Position it forward of the propeller to dodge turbulence.
• Ensure at least 1/8-inch thick fiberglass for optimal signal transmission.
• Test in water before finalizing; minor adjustments can make a world of difference.

It's a game-changer for trailered boats or those you don't want altered externally, preserving resale value while boosting on-water tech.

Proven Performance Tailored for Everyday Anglers

Crafted with durable materials, this single or dual-beam puck handles the demands of freshwater and saltwater pursuits. Expect reliable depth penetration up to hundreds of feet, depending on your unit's power, with clear separation of structure and baitfish. Seasoned users praise its consistency in shallow bays or deep reservoirs, where hull angle often sabotages lesser transducers. Pair it with your existing display for an instant sonar refresh without breaking the bank.

Versatile Compatibility Across Humminbird Lineups

Engineered to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of compact Humminbird models, from entry-level Piranha units to versatile Matrix and FF series fish finders. Whether you're running a portable setup or a fixed console, this transducer slots right in, enhancing resolution without compatibility headaches.

Maximize Your Transducer's Potential: Expert Tips

To squeeze every ounce of performance:

1. Water Testing: Always verify in real water conditions; air tests mislead.
2. Cable Management: Route wires away from electrical noise sources like engines or bilge pumps.
3. Seasonal Checks: Inspect for air pockets or hull flexing that could degrade signals over time.
4. Combo Use: If dual-spectrum capable, toggle beams for varied water columns.

These tweaks help anglers consistently locate hotspots, from weed edges to drop-offs.
