Product Detail
Airmar's SS175C-12-HW 12d Tilt High Wide CHIRP transducer with Si-Tex 8-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'). One transducer offers 100 kHz of total bandwidth, covering the popular 200 kHz fishing frequency and more. The high frequency provides excellent shallow - water performance, detailed bottom views, and clear fish target separation. Its high wide beamwidth gives more coverage under the boat to detect fish in the upper water column. The low - profile thru - hull housing ensures good resolution at speed when installed correctly. Made with a stainless - steel housing, it's suitable for fiberglass, wood, or metal stepped, planing, or displacement hulls. It also comes in transom - mount (TM185HW), in - hull (M285HW), and bronze housing (B175HW) models. With exclusive Xducer ID® technology, this transducer stands out. Airmar's unique wide - beam, high - frequency Chirp - ready transducers offer more coverage under the boat. The high band operates from 150 to 250 kHz with a fixed 25° beam, resulting in superior resolution. It provides twice 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', the tilted element transducer corrects for hull deadrise to 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 this Airmar transducer is easy. First, choose the right model according to your boat's hull type. For thru - hull installation, make sure the hole size matches the 98 mm (3 - 7/8') specification. Install the transducer almost flush to the hull, and the 12° tilt will correct for the hull deadrise, ensuring the ceramic element is horizontal for maximum echo returns. When it comes to fishing, turn on your fishfinder connected to the transducer. The high - frequency and wide - beam features will help you detect fish in both shallow and deep waters. For inshore and pelagic fishing, this transducer will give you clear views of the bottom and fish targets. As for maintenance, keep the acoustic window (urethane) clean. Check the housing regularly for any signs of damage, especially if you're using it on different hull types. If you notice any issues, consult a professional. Also, be aware that the hull deadrise should be up to 24° for optimal performance.
