Airmar SS175C-12-H 12d Tilt High CHIRP with Raymarine 11-Pin

The Airmar SS175C-12-H 12d Tilt High CHIRP transducer with Raymarine 11-Pin is a great choice for small 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'). With a high - frequency range from 130 kHz to 210 kHz and a 10° to 6° beamwidth, it offers a total bandwidth of 80 kHz from one transducer. This high frequency ensures excellent shallow - water performance, clear bottom details, and good fish target separation. The stainless - steel housing is suitable for all hull types and materials, and there's also a bronze housing (B175H) model available. It features exclusive Xducer ID® technology. Airmar's low - profile Chirp - ready transducers are ideal for center consoles. The high - frequency band gives 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 this Airmar SS175C - 12 - H transducer is quite straightforward. First, choose the right location on your boat. It's recommended for boats up to 11 m (36'). Make sure to measure the hull deadrise, which should be up to 24°. Drill a 98 mm (3 - 7/8') hole for installation. Connect it using the Raymarine 11 - Pin connection. When using, it will give you depth and water - temperature readings quickly. In shallow water, the high - frequency feature will show clear bottom details and help you spot fish easily. For maintenance, keep the transducer clean. Wipe it regularly to remove any dirt or debris. If you notice any damage to the urethane acoustic window, get it checked or replaced. Also, be careful when handling the internal ceramic assembly as it's delicate. Store it in a dry place when not in use to prevent rusting, especially if it's the stainless - steel housing model. If you have the bronze housing model, check for any signs of corrosion periodically.
