Airmar M265C-LH 1kw Low High CHIRP No Connector

The Airmar M265C-LH is an outstanding in-hull transducer. It's a CHIRP-ready dual-band device that offers both low and high frequencies. With 1 kW of power, it provides excellent deep-water performance. The low frequency ranges from 42 to 65 kHz with a 25° to 16° beamwidth, reaching a maximum depth of 914 m (3000'). The high frequency goes from 130 to 210 kHz with a 10° to 6° beamwidth and a maximum depth of 304 m (1000'). It has a total bandwidth of 103 kHz from one transducer, covering popular fishing frequencies like 50 and 200 kHz. The plastic transducer housing and mounting tank make it a durable choice. It also features the patented Xducer ID® technology. This transducer includes frequencies perfect for detecting various fish species such as Bluefin Tuna, squid, and cod. It delivers great resolution, bottom discrimination, and separates bait and game fish at all depths. It's ideal for those who don't want to drill holes in their hulls, especially for trailered or lifted boats. The cable length is 10 m (33'), and it comes with bare wire connectors. It can accommodate a deadrise angle of 0° to 22°, and up to 30° with proper installation.

Using the Airmar M265C-LH transducer is easy. First, install the included tank by cutting it to match your boat's deadrise angle and affixing it inside the hull. Make sure the longest side of the tank is parallel to the centerline (keel) of the hull for the best performance. Then, place the transducer inside the tank. This setup ensures it's properly oriented. When using it, keep in mind that the low frequency is great for deep water, while the high frequency is better for pinpointing fish in structures. As for maintenance, regularly check the cable for any signs of damage. Since it has a plastic housing, avoid using harsh chemicals when cleaning. If you notice any issues with the performance, like inaccurate depth readings, check the connections and the orientation of the transducer in the tank. Also, make sure the deadrise angle of your boat is within the specified range for optimal operation.
