Garmin B164 Through Hull 1kW Transducer 12 Degree Tilted Element 8 pin
Pickup available at Mercury Yacht Harbour
Usually ready in 2-4 days
Description
The Garmin B164 steps your Garmin sonar system up to a full 1 kW of transmit power without the need for a fairing block. Its flush-mounted bronze housing protrudes less than a quarter of an inch outside the hull and can sit on trailer rollers or bunks without damage, while the tilted element inside keeps the sound beam aimed vertically. Operating on traditional 50 kHz and 200 kHz frequencies, it pairs high power with reliable depth and water-temperature readings for confident deep-water performance.
This 12° tilt model is matched to hull deadrise angles of 8-15° and is an excellent choice for fibreglass and wood hulls. It connects to compatible Garmin sonar modules such as the GSD 24 and GSD 26 and is supplied with full installation instructions, which should be followed carefully to avoid damaging your boat.
