Airmar SS175C-0-H 0d Tilt High CHIRP with Humminbird 14-Pin

The Airmar SS175C-0-H 0d Tilt High CHIRP transducer with Humminbird 14-Pin is a great choice for small boats. Model SS175C-0-H, it serves as a depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor. With 1 kW power, it can reach a maximum depth of 304 m (1000'). The high - frequency range from 130 kHz to 210 kHz offers a 10° to 6° beamwidth and 80 kHz of total bandwidth from a single transducer. This high frequency ensures excellent shallow - water performance, detailed bottom views, and clear fish target separation. It's suitable for boats up to 11 m (36'). Its stainless - steel housing fits all hull types and materials, and there's also a bronze housing (B175H) model available. It features the exclusive Xducer ID® technology. Airmar's low - profile Chirp - ready transducers are ideal for center consoles. The high - frequency band provides a narrow beamwidth, perfect for finding fish near structures. The SS175H offers up to 80 kHz of total bandwidth in one installation. Tilted element transducers correct for hull deadrise, ensuring maximum echo returns. Specifications include a weight of 2.7 kg (6 lb), hull deadrise up to 24°, a urethane acoustic window, a 98 mm (3 - 7/8') hole size, and one internal ceramic assembly.

Using the Airmar SS175C - 0 - H transducer is quite straightforward. First, install it almost flush to the hull of your boat, making sure to correct for the hull deadrise according to the 0° tilt. This will help the ceramic element stay horizontal and get the best echo returns. When you're out on the water, turn on your device connected to the transducer, and it will start measuring the depth and water temperature. It works well for boats up to 11 m long. For maintenance, keep the transducer clean. After each use, rinse it with fresh water to remove any salt or debris. Check the housing regularly for any signs of damage, especially if you hit something while boating. If you notice any cracks in the urethane acoustic window or issues with the ceramic assembly, it's best to get it checked by a professional. Also, make sure the connections are tight and free of corrosion. If you're not using the transducer for a long time, store it in a dry place.
