Product Detail
The Airmar SS175C-12-HW is a remarkable depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor. With a 1 kW power, it can reach a maximum depth of 152 m (500'). Its high frequency ranges from 150 kHz to 250 kHz, offering a constant 25° beamwidth and a 100 kHz total bandwidth from a single transducer. This covers the popular 200 kHz fishing frequency and more. The high frequency ensures great shallow - water performance, detailed bottom views, and clear fish target separation. The high wide beamwidth gives you more coverage under the boat, helping you detect fish in the upper water column. The low - profile thru - hull housing, when installed correctly, provides good resolution at speed. It has a stainless - steel housing suitable for fiberglass, wood, or metal hulls, whether stepped, planing, or displacement. Recommended for boats up to 11 m (36'). It also comes in transom - mount (TM185HW), in - hull (M285HW), and bronze housing (B175HW) models. Featuring exclusive Xducer ID® technology, Airmar's wide - beam, high - frequency Chirp - ready transducers are a top choice for both inshore and pelagic fishing, offering superior resolution and maximum coverage down to 500'. The tilted element, fixed at a 12° angle, corrects for hull deadrise and ensures maximum echo returns. Specifications include a 2.7 kg (6 lb) weight, hull deadrise up to 24°, a urethane acoustic window, a 98 mm (3 - 7/8') hole size, and one internal ceramic assembly.
Using the Airmar SS175C - 12 - HW is quite straightforward. First, make sure to choose the right installation type based on your boat's hull. If you have a boat up to 11 m (36'), this transducer is a great fit. For thru - hull installation, ensure the hole size is 98 mm (3 - 7/8'). The tilt of the element at 12° helps correct for the hull deadrise, so install it almost flush to the hull to get the best echo returns. When using it, the high frequency range of 150 - 250 kHz will give you excellent details in shallow water and clear separation of fish targets. The wide beamwidth is great for detecting fish in the upper water column. As for maintenance, keep the acoustic window clean. Since it's made of urethane, avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage it. Also, regularly check the stainless - steel housing for any signs of corrosion, especially if your boat is used in saltwater. And that's all you need to know to get the most out of your Airmar SS175C - 12 - HW transducer.
