Airmar SS175C-0-L 0d Tilt Low CHIRP With Garmin 12-Pin

The Airmar SS175C-0-L 0d Tilt is a high - performance low CHIRP transducer with a Garmin 12 - pin connection. Model SS175C - 0 - L, it serves as both a depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor. With 1 kW power, its low frequency range from 40 kHz to 60 kHz offers great deep - water performance, reaching a maximum depth of 762 m (2500') and a beamwidth from 32° to 21°. The low - profile thru - hull stainless - steel housing is suitable for stepped, planing or displacement hulls made of fiberglass, wood or metal, and provides good resolution at speed when properly installed. It's recommended for boats up to 11 m (36'). There's also a bronze housing (B175L) model for fiberglass and wood hulls. Exclusive Xducer ID® technology adds to its appeal. Airmar's low - profile Chirp - ready transducers are great for smaller boats like center consoles. The low - frequency band offers excellent coverage and tracking in deep water. The SS175L transducer provides up to 20 kHz of total bandwidth in a single installation. Tilted element transducers have a ceramic element fixed at 20°, 12° or 0° angle in the housing. Installed almost flush to the hull, it corrects for hull deadrise, ensuring maximum echo returns and accurate depth readings. Specifications: Weight 2.7 kg (6 lb), Hull Deadrise up to 24°, Acoustic Window Urethane, Hole Size 98 mm (3 - 7/8'), and it has seven internal broadband ceramic assemblies.

Using the Airmar SS175C - 0 - L transducer is quite straightforward. First, make sure to choose the right location on your boat's hull. It's recommended for boats up to 11 m (36'). Drill a 98 mm (3 - 7/8') hole as specified in the hull. Then, install the transducer almost flush to the hull. Connect it to your system using the Garmin 12 - pin connection. When it comes to using it, just turn on your device and the transducer will start providing depth and water - temperature readings. For better results in deep water, the low - frequency band from 40 kHz to 60 kHz works great. As for maintenance, keep the transducer clean. You can use a soft cloth to wipe it down regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the urethane acoustic window as it might damage it. Check the connections periodically to make sure they are tight. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, especially to the stainless - steel or bronze housing, get it inspected by a professional. Also, remember that the transducer's tilted element is set at a specific angle (20°, 12° or 0°) to correct for hull deadrise, so don't try to adjust it yourself.
