Product Detail
The Airmar SS175C-12-HW 12d Tilt High Wide CHIRP transducer with Humminbird 14-Pin is a top - notch choice for fishing enthusiasts. It's a depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor with 1 kW power and can reach a maximum depth of 152 m (500'). With a high frequency range from 150 kHz to 250 kHz and a constant 25° beamwidth, it offers a 100 kHz total bandwidth from one transducer. This covers the popular 200 kHz fishing frequency, providing superior shallow - water performance, clear bottom details, and great fish target separation. The high wide beamwidth gives more coverage under the boat, helping you detect fish in the upper water column. Its low - profile thru - hull housing, when properly installed, offers good resolution at speed. The stainless - steel housing is suitable for fiberglass, wood, or metal hulls, whether stepped, planing, or displacement. It's recommended for boats up to 11 m (36'). Also available in transom - mount (TM185HW), in - hull (M285HW), and bronze housing (B175HW) models. It features exclusive Xducer ID® technology. Airmar's unique wide - beam, high - frequency Chirp - ready transducers give you more boat coverage. The high - band operation provides excellent resolution, and the constant wide beamwidth offers double the coverage under the boat and great fish arches on the display compared to most high - frequency narrow - beam options. Ideal for both inshore and pelagic fishing, down to 500', this transducer has a tilted element fixed at 20°, 12°, or 0° within the housing to correct for hull deadrise and ensure 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'); One internal ceramic assembly.
Using the Airmar SS175C - 12 - HW transducer is quite straightforward. First, make sure to choose the right mounting option based on your boat type. If it's a transom - mount model, attach it to the transom of your boat. For a thru - hull installation, drill a 98 mm hole as specified. Ensure the transducer is installed almost flush to the hull, and the tilt angle of the element corrects for the hull deadrise. When using it, turn on your fish - finder device that is compatible with the Humminbird 14 - Pin connection. You'll start getting depth and water - temperature readings, as well as fish arches on the display. Some important things to note: Don't install the transducer in areas with air bubbles or excessive turbulence, as this can affect the readings. Avoid hitting the transducer against hard objects to prevent damage. For maintenance, regularly clean the transducer with fresh water after each use, especially if you've been in saltwater. Check the housing for any signs of cracks or damage. If you notice any issues with the readings or performance, it might be a good idea to have it inspected by a professional.
