Marine Electronics Forum - Garmin's own Transducer vs. Airmar?

I assume that since Airmar makes transducers for all the major players that the GARMIN 200 KHZ 45/15 DEGREE DUAL BEAM T/M DEPTH TEMP transducer is made by Airmar.

It seems to be a bit less expensive than the Airmar P66 which is recommended by Airmar for my Garmin 498. Can I expect better performance from the Airmar P66?

Is there anywhere online to get Airmar pricing? I haven't been able to find a price for the P66 excpet on Ebay. I tried BOE but they don't show it.



Thanks, Rob

Here is the Garmins P66 made by Airmar. It is the same transducer as an Airmar P66 nothing is different actually 45/12 dual beam

If your referring to the Single frequency Dual Beam transducer P/N 010-10249-00, then no it's not made by Airmar and neither is the Dual Frequency ducer P/N 010-10272-00. The only transom mounted ducer made by Airmar for Garmin is the P66 P/N 010-10192-01.
