Product Detail
The Airmar SS175C-12-HW 12d Tilt High Wide CHIRP transducer is a great choice for fishing. It comes with a Humminbird 14-Pin. This model is SS175C-12-HW. It's a depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor. With 1 kW power, it can reach a maximum depth of 152 m (500'). The high frequency ranges from 150 kHz to 250 kHz with a constant 25° beamwidth. It offers 100 kHz of total bandwidth from one transducer, covering the popular 200 kHz fishing frequency. The high frequency ensures excellent shallow - water performance, clear bottom details, and good fish target separation. The high wide beamwidth gives more coverage under the boat to detect fish in the upper water column. Its low - profile thru - hull housing provides good resolution at speed when installed correctly. It has a stainless - steel housing suitable for fiberglass, wood, or metal hulls like stepped, planing, or displacement ones. Recommended for boats up to 11 m (36'). Also available in transom - mount (TM185HW), in - hull (M285HW), and bronze housing (B175HW) models. It uses the exclusive Xducer ID® technology. Airmar's unique wide - beam, high - frequency Chirp - ready transducers offer more coverage under your boat. The high - band frequency range of 150 - 250 kHz and fixed 25° beam provide superior resolution. The constant wide beamwidth gives twice the coverage and great fish arches on the display compared to many high - frequency narrow - beam options. It's ideal for both inshore and pelagic fishing where good resolution and maximum coverage under the boat are needed down to 500'. Tilted element transducers have the element fixed at 20°, 12°, or 0° angles. The tilt corrects for hull deadrise and orients the ceramic element horizontally for maximum echo returns. Specifications: Weight is 2.7 kg (6 lb), hull deadrise up to 24°, acoustic window is urethane, hole size is 98 mm (3 - 7/8'), and it has one internal ceramic assembly.
Using the Airmar SS175C - 12 - HW transducer is easy. First, choose the right mounting option according to your boat type. If it's a boat up to 11 m (36'), this transducer is a great fit. For a thru - hull installation, make sure to drill a 98 mm (3 - 7/8') hole. When installing, ensure the transducer is almost flush to the hull, and the tilt will correct for the hull deadrise. This way, the ceramic element will be oriented horizontally for the best echo returns. When using it, turn it on and it will start measuring the water depth and temperature. The high - frequency range of 150 - 250 kHz will give you clear details of the bottom and good separation of fish targets. The wide beamwidth helps you detect fish in the upper water column. As for maintenance, keep the stainless - steel housing clean. If there's any dirt or debris on the acoustic window made of urethane, gently clean it with a soft cloth. Also, check the connections regularly to make sure they are tight. If you're not using the transducer for a long time, store it in a dry place. And remember, the hull deadrise should be up to 24° for optimal performance.
