Product Detail
The Airmar SS175C-12-HW is a top - notch depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor. With a 1 kW power and a max depth of 152 m (500'), it's great for various fishing scenarios. The high - frequency range from 150 kHz to 250 kHz offers a constant 25° beamwidth, giving you 100 kHz of total bandwidth from one transducer. It covers the popular 200 kHz fishing frequency and provides excellent shallow - water performance, clear bottom details, and good fish target separation. The high wide beamwidth detects more fish in the upper water column. Its low - profile thru - hull housing gives good resolution at speed when installed right. The stainless - steel housing suits fiberglass, wood, or metal hulls of boats up to 11 m (36'). It also comes in transom - mount, in - hull, and bronze housing models and features exclusive Xducer ID® technology. Airmar's unique wide - beam, high - frequency Chirp - ready transducers offer more coverage under the boat. The high - band's fixed 25° beam across 150 - 250 kHz results in superior resolution, doubling the coverage under the boat and showing great fish arches on the display compared to narrow - beam options. It's ideal for both inshore and pelagic fishing down to 500'. Tilted element transducers correct for hull deadrise, ensuring maximum echo returns.
Using the Airmar SS175C - 12 - HW is quite straightforward. First, install it on your boat. Make sure it's installed almost flush to the hull, and the tilt of the element corrects for the hull deadrise. For boats up to 11 m (36') and hull deadrise up to 24°, this transducer works well. When using it, it will start providing depth and water - temperature readings right away. To get the best results, keep the acoustic window (made of urethane) clean. As for maintenance, regularly check the transducer for any signs of damage, especially if you're using it in rough waters. The stainless - steel housing is durable, but still, make sure there are no dents or scratches. If you want to store it, keep it in a dry place. Also, note that this transducer comes in different models like transom - mount, in - hull, and bronze housing, so choose the one that fits your boat's needs best.
