Garmin B164 1kW Tilted Element 20° - 8-Pin

The Garmin B164 1kW Tilted Element 20° - 8-Pin transducer is an essential upgrade for anglers and boaters who demand reliable sonar performance in demanding conditions. This 1-kilowatt tilted-element transducer delivers superior target separation and clarity, making it ideal for fishermen targeting structure, thermoclines, and suspended fish in both freshwater and saltwater environments. The 20-degree tilt design optimizes beam geometry for precise bottom tracking and overhead coverage, giving you the edge whether you're working shallow flats or deep offshore waters.

Built with Garmin's proven engineering standards, the B164 features a tilted-element design that enhances vertical sonar resolution and reduces side-lobe interference—critical advantages when distinguishing hard structures from soft bottom or identifying baitfish columns near your target zone. The 8-pin connector ensures compatibility with legacy and current Garmin chartplotters and fishfinders, while the 1kW power output provides penetration and range sufficient for both shallow and deep-water applications. The transducer's rugged construction handles the vibration and thermal stress inherent to saltwater and tournament-grade freshwater use.

Serious anglers, charter boat operators, and professional guides benefit most from the B164's accuracy and durability in high-demand scenarios where sonar reliability directly impacts catch rates and safety. Installation requires a transom or thru-hull mount compatible with your vessel's beam design and the 8-pin Garmin sonar protocol; consult your chartplotter manual to confirm pin configuration and transducer orientation. At 11 pounds and compact in profile, the B164 integrates cleanly into most fishing platforms without compromising weight distribution or aerodynamics.
