i just put this same one in the boat this year and its awesome totally beats the ones that hang out the back of boat. cruising at any speed picks up the bottom no problem. but will admit putting a hole in bottom of hull made me nervous, all good now.
using it on my front unit (hds7) and it is big improvement over the stock 50/200 lowrance, which I now use on my rear unit (lcx19)...so a direct comparisson
I purchased a new Airmar P66 transducer for Simrad/HDS (blue plug end) last year and installed it on my boat - it replaced a damaged P66 (hit a small log). I took the boat fishing one time last July and discovered that the Broadband sounder was not getting power - wired improperly. Didn't get to use the sounder at all on the trip. Just took the new P66 off of the boat and am installing a new Airmar thru-hull SS264 pair of transducers as I write this. So I have a new P66 transducer that has seen the water one time but has not yet been fired up. I like the P66 for trolling, but wanted so see what the high tech SS264 pair could do for deeper bottom fishing. Send me a note if you are interested in the P66.
