Airmar SS175C-12-H 12d Tilt High CHIRP with Si-Tex 8-Pin

The Airmar SS175C-12-H 12d Tilt High CHIRP transducer is a top - notch choice for smaller boats up to 11 m (36'). It features 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, providing excellent shallow - water performance, detailed bottom views, and great fish target separation. It has 80 kHz of total bandwidth from one transducer. Its stainless - steel housing is suitable for all hull types and materials, and there's also a bronze housing (B175H) option. Equipped with exclusive Xducer ID® technology, this low - profile Chirp - ready transducer is ideal for center consoles. The tilted element, fixed at 20°, 12° or 0° within the housing, corrects for hull deadrise and ensures maximum echo returns. 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 this Airmar SS175C - 12 - H transducer is quite straightforward. First, choose the right mounting location on your boat, preferably close to the centerline and away from any sources of interference. Make sure the hull deadrise is within the 24° limit. Drill a 98 mm (3 - 7/8') hole for installation. Connect it to your compatible device using the 8 - pin connection. When using, you'll get accurate depth and water - temperature readings. The high - frequency feature is great for finding fish near structures. As for maintenance, keep the transducer clean. You can use a soft cloth and mild cleaner to wipe the acoustic window. Check the connections regularly to ensure they're tight. Also, store the transducer in a dry place when not in use to prevent any damage to the internal ceramic assembly.
