Airmar SS175C-12-H 12d Tilt High CHIRP with Navico BL

The Airmar SS175C-12-H 12d Tilt High CHIRP Transducer with Navico BL is a great choice for smaller boats up to 11 m (36'). It's a depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor with 1 kW power and can reach a maximum depth of 304 m (1000'). The high frequency, ranging from 130 kHz to 210 kHz, offers a 10° to 6° beamwidth and 80 kHz of total bandwidth from one transducer. This high frequency gives excellent shallow - water performance, clear bottom details, and good fish target separation. Its stainless - steel housing is compatible with all hull types and materials, and there's also a bronze housing (B175H) model. It features exclusive Xducer ID® technology. Airmar's low - profile Chirp - ready transducers are ideal for center consoles. The high - frequency band has a narrow beamwidth, perfect for finding fish near structures. The SS175H provides up to 80 kHz of total bandwidth in one installation. Tilted element transducers correct for hull deadrise, ensuring maximum echo returns. Specifications: Weight 2.7 kg (6 lb), Hull Deadrise up to 24°, Acoustic Window Urethane, Hole Size 98 mm (3 - 7/8'), and one internal ceramic assembly.

Using the Airmar SS175C - 12 - H is straightforward. First, make sure to choose the right housing type, either stainless steel or bronze. Install it almost flush to the hull, and the 12d tilt will correct for the hull deadrise. This ensures the ceramic element is horizontal and you get the best echo returns. When using, it will measure depth and water temperature quickly. For boats up to 11 m (36'), it's a great fit. Just turn it on and let it do its job. As for maintenance, keep the acoustic window clean. You can use a soft cloth to wipe it. Check the housing regularly for any signs of damage. If you notice any issues, contact the manufacturer. Also, be careful with the hole size during installation to avoid any leaks or improper fits.
