Airmar B164 1KW Bronze TH 12 Deg Tilt 8 Pin Garmin

The Airmar B164 1KW Bronze TH 12 Deg Tilt 8 Pin Garmin transducer is the workhorse choice for serious anglers and boaters who demand reliable, accurate sonar performance in freshwater and moderate saltwater conditions. Built for anglers who've spent years reading structure, drop-offs, and fish behavior on the water, this bronze thru-hull transducer delivers the clarity and consistency needed to identify confidence-building targets beneath the hull. Whether you're fishing deep lakes, reservoirs, or coastal bays, the Airmar B164 integrates seamlessly with Garmin chartplotters and fishfinders, giving you the real-time depth, temperature, and target definition that separates productive days from guesswork.

This 1 kilowatt transducer operates at 200 kHz, delivering high-resolution sonar imagery through Garmin's proprietary signal processing while maintaining efficient power consumption aboard vessels of all sizes. The 12-degree tilted design optimizes beam coverage for moving boats, reducing bottom clutter and enhancing fish arches across a wide range of depths and speeds. Bronze construction provides superior corrosion resistance and durability in saltwater splash zones and brackish environments, while the 8-pin Garmin connector ensures plug-and-play compatibility with current and legacy Garmin fish finders and multifunction displays. Weighing 12 lbs, the B164 mounts cleanly through the transom or hull, and the tilt angle ensures minimal dead zones directly beneath the boat—critical when you're hunting shallow structure or suspended fish.

Experienced boaters upgrading or maintaining a Garmin system will appreciate the B164's proven track record and straightforward installation into existing thru-hull fittings. This transducer performs best when paired with Garmin units supporting the 8-pin architecture—verify your chartplotter or fishfinder connector type before purchase to ensure compatibility. For anglers running large freshwater systems or moderate-range saltwater operations, the B164's power output and beam angle strike the ideal balance between bottom penetration and lateral coverage, making it the go-to choice for tournaments, guide services, and serious recreational fishing operations seeking reliable sonar night after night.
