Product Detail
The Airmar SS175C-12-HW is a top - notch depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor. With 1 kW power and a max depth of 152 m (500'), it's a great choice for fishing. Operating from 150 kHz to 250 kHz, it offers a constant 25° beamwidth and 100 kHz of total bandwidth from one transducer. This high - frequency transducer provides excellent shallow - water performance, clear bottom details, and good fish target separation. The high wide beamwidth gives more coverage under the boat, perfect for detecting fish in the upper water column. Its low - profile thru - hull housing, made of stainless steel, ensures good resolution at speed on fiberglass, wood, or metal hulls up to 11 m (36'). It also comes in transom - mount, in - hull, and bronze housing models. Exclusive Xducer ID® technology adds to its value. With Airmar's unique wide - beam, high - frequency Chirp - ready design, it offers superior resolution and double the coverage under the boat compared to most high - frequency narrow - beam options. Ideal for both inshore and pelagic fishing down to 500'. The tilted element corrects for hull deadrise for maximum echo returns.
Using the Airmar SS175C - 12 - HW is easy. First, choose the right mounting option for your boat. If you have a fiberglass, wood, or metal hull up to 11 m (36'), the thru - hull option is a great choice. Make sure to install it properly so the low - profile housing can provide good resolution at speed. When using, the transducer will give you depth and water - temperature readings. For best results, let it operate across the 150 - 250 kHz frequency range. This will help you get clear details of the bottom and good fish target separation. Remember, the hull deadrise should be up to 24°. When it comes to maintenance, keep the acoustic window (made of urethane) clean. Avoid scratching it as it can affect the performance. Also, check the transducer regularly for any signs of damage, especially if you're using it in rough waters. If you need to store it, keep it in a dry place. With these tips, you can make the most of your Airmar SS175C - 12 - HW transducer.
