Overview

The Simrad 000-13919-001 is a transom-mount 50/200 kHz transducer with a 9-pin connector that provides depth, speed, and water temperature on compatible Simrad sonar systems. It carries a 600 W RMS rating, with a 45° beam at 50 kHz for wider coverage and an 11° beam at 200 kHz when you want more detail. Maximum depth range is up to 1,200 ft at 50 kHz and up to 700 ft at 200 kHz, with real-world results depending on hull, installation, and conditions.

The housing mounts on the transom and uses a rounded nose shape that helps keep the water flow clean under the face at speed. Overall size is 70 x 130 x 104 mm with the bracket installed, and it weighs about 0.5 kg. The kick-up bracket accommodates transom angles from 2° to 22°, and the transducer can be removed from the bracket without tools for service or storage.

This setup fits well on many outboard and sterndrive boats up to about 12 m (40 ft) that want traditional sonar plus speed and temperature without adding separate sensors.

Key features

• Conventional 50/200 kHz sonar element with 45° (50 kHz) and 11° (200 kHz) beamwidths
• 600 W RMS power rating for traditional fishfinding and bottom tracking
• Depth, speed, and water-temperature sensing in one transom-mount housing
• 9-pin connector for Simrad units and sounder modules that use a 9-pin transducer port
• Plastic kick-up bracket with 2° to 22° transom-angle accommodation, plus tool-free removal from the bracket
• Compact footprint (70 x 130 x 104 mm with bracket) and 0.5 kg weight for common transom installations

Compatibility and fit

Confirm your display or sounder module has a 9-pin transducer connection and supports a 50/200 kHz sonar input before ordering. This is a transom-mount sensor, so it is meant for boats that have a clean-water mounting spot on the transom where the face can stay in solid water flow when you are on plane.

Because it includes a paddlewheel for speed, it needs a mounting location where debris and turbulence are minimal. If your system uses a different transducer connector, an adapter cable may be required.

Installation and setup

Mount it so the face runs parallel to the waterline and sits where it will not be fed aerated water from strakes, steps, or through-hull fittings. The kick-up bracket helps protect the housing from a forward strike, but it still pays to keep it clear of trailer bunks, lifts, and beaching contact points.

Route the cable to the helm with drip loops and strain relief, and keep it separated from high-current wiring where possible. After launch, fine-tune the height and angle so you maintain bottom tracking at speed without excessive spray.

On-board use

In shallower water, 200 kHz is commonly used for a tighter beam and more definition; 50 kHz is useful when you want broader coverage and more reach into deeper water. Speed and temperature readings come from the transducer housing, and speed readout may need calibration in the display for the most accurate numbers.

Maintenance and care

Rinse the transducer after saltwater use and check that the paddlewheel area is clear of growth or line. Periodically inspect the bracket hardware, cable routing, and connector condition, especially after trailering or high-vibration runs.
