Navico XSONIC P66 Plastic Transom Mount Transducer 50/200kHz 9-Pin Connector

Upgrade your boat's sonar capabilities with the reliable P66 transom mount transducer, a go-to choice for anglers and boaters chasing fish in coastal waters or inland lakes. This plastic housing unit delivers crisp depth readings and accurate water temperature data at 50/200 kHz frequencies, making it perfect for vessels up to 40 feet. Whether you're tracking structure on rocky bottoms or spotting schools in open water, its dual-frequency design balances wide coverage at 200 kHz for shallow precision and deeper penetration at 50 kHz.

Key Features That Stand Out

Crafted with a hydrodynamic shape and rounded nose, the P66 minimizes water flow disruption for sharper, noise-free images on your fishfinder screen. The single-ceramic element handles up to 600 watts of power, ensuring strong signals even in choppy conditions. Its black 9-pin connector integrates seamlessly with popular marine electronics, providing both depth and temp in a compact package—no paddlewheel means fewer moving parts and less maintenance hassle.

• Plastic kick-up bracket absorbs impacts from trailering or shallow water bumps
• Fits transom angles from 2° to 20° for versatile boat installations
• Tool-free removal for quick storage or servicing
• Recessed channel safeguards internals from debris
• Performs reliably down to 3,000 feet, ideal for offshore day trips

Why Boaters Trust This Transducer

Imagine launching at dawn, knowing your setup will cut through turbulence for clean bottom contours and baitfish marks. Small sportfishing boats and commercial rigs love how it punches above its weight—delivering broadband performance without the bulk of thru-hull models. The plastic construction resists corrosion in saltwater, while the kick-up feature protects against beaching or docking dings. Real-world users report fewer dropouts in rough seas compared to older single-frequency pods, thanks to its streamlined flow.

Installation is straightforward: mount it 1/3 from the transom's center, deadrise-aligned, and route the cable cleanly. Pair it with high-definition chartplotters for layered 2D sonar that reveals wrecks, ledges, and thermoclines effortlessly. It's not just gear; it's the edge that turns good days into limits.

Performance in Real Fishing Scenarios

In shallow bays under 100 feet, switch to 200 kHz for hyper-detailed views of grass beds and drop-offs. Venture deeper, and 50 kHz takes over with its conical beam spreading coverage to scan vast areas efficiently. Temperature sensing helps locate bait balls influenced by currents, a game-changer for trolling lures or live bait rigs. Kayak anglers scaling up to jon boats find it lightweight yet durable, while charter captains appreciate the consistent pings mile after mile.

Pro tip: Keep the face clean of marine growth with a soft brush and vinegar rinse to maintain peak sensitivity—simple upkeep for years of service backed by a solid warranty.
