Product Detail
The Airmar SS175C - 0 - HW is a top - notch depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor. With 1 kW power, it can reach a maximum depth of 152 m (500'). Operating at a high frequency from 150 kHz to 250 kHz, it offers a constant 25° beamwidth and 100 kHz of total bandwidth from one transducer. This high frequency is great for shallow water, providing sharp bottom details and clear fish target separation. The wide beam covers more area under the boat, perfect for detecting fish in the upper water column. It has a low - profile thru - hull housing, which gives good resolution at speed when installed correctly. Made with a stainless - steel housing, it's suitable for fiberglass, wood, or metal hulls of boats up to 11 m (36'). There are also transom - mount, in - hull, and bronze housing models available. It comes with exclusive Xducer ID® technology. This high - wide transducer is ideal for both inshore and pelagic fishing, offering excellent resolution and wide coverage down to 500'. The tilted element, fixed at a 0° angle, corrects for hull deadrise. Specifications include a weight of 2.7 kg (6 lb), hull deadrise up to 24°, a urethane acoustic window, and a 98 mm (3 - 7/8') hole size with one internal ceramic assembly.
Using the Airmar SS175C - 0 - HW is straightforward. First, choose the right installation type according to your boat. For thru - hull installation, make sure to drill a 98 mm hole as specified. When installing, ensure the transducer is almost flush to the hull, and the tilt will correct for the hull deadrise to get the best echo returns. During use, this transducer can give you accurate depth and water - temperature information. It's great for fishing, whether you're inshore or out in the open sea. Just turn it on and let it do its job. As for maintenance, keep the transducer clean. Regularly check the housing for any signs of damage, especially if you're using it in rough waters. If there's any damage to the urethane acoustic window, get it repaired or replaced. Also, since it has a stainless - steel housing, it's resistant to corrosion, but it's still a good idea to rinse it with fresh water after use in saltwater. And always follow the manufacturer's instructions for any software updates related to the Xducer ID® technology.
