Airmar B175MW Med Ultra Wide 1kW, 20 Chirp Thru-Hull 12-Pin Transducer f/Furuno TZTouch3 [B175C-20-MW-12F]

The Airmar B175MW is a game - changer in transducer technology. It uses medium frequency (60 - 100 kHz) with an ultra - wide beamwidth (57 - 73° port - starboard and 16° average fore - aft), providing maximum coverage under the boat. This makes it a top choice for anglers targeting pelagic species in the upper water column. Its medium - frequency band is also great for seeking deeper species. When paired with other models like the B275LHW, it offers a wide range of frequencies for different depths. The B175MW is a 1 kW transducer in a popular tilted - element housing with a 20° fixed ceramic element. Installed almost flush with the hull, it corrects for hull deadrise, ensuring maximum echo returns. Key features include a 20° fixed tilt for 16° - 24° hull deadrise, a 12 - pin connector for Furuno TZTouch3 displays, depth and water - temperature sensors, and 1 kW power with 400 m depth tracking. It has a bronze housing suitable for various hull types and offers excellent mid - depth performance and fish - target separation. Specifications include a urethane acoustic window, 9 - 10 m cable length, and more. Note: This product may not be returned to the original point of purchase. Contact the manufacturer directly for issues.

Using the Airmar B175MW transducer is straightforward. First, make sure your boat's hull deadrise is between 16° and 24°, as this transducer is designed for that range. Drill a 95 mm hole in your fiberglass or wood hull and install the transducer almost flush. Connect it to your Furuno TZTouch3 display using the 12 - pin connector. Once installed, it will start providing depth and water - temperature readings. When fishing, you'll benefit from its wide beamwidth and medium - frequency performance to detect fish at different depths. As for maintenance, keep the transducer clean from debris and barnacles. Check the cable regularly for any signs of wear or damage. If you have any issues with the temperature sensor, make sure the water temperature is within the - 10°C to 40°C range. Remember, this product can't be returned to the original seller, so contact Airmar Technology directly if you face any problems.
