Product Detail
The Airmar SS175C-12-HW is a remarkable depth and fast-response water-temperature sensor. With 1 kW power and a max depth of 152 m (500'), it's a great tool for fishing. It offers 100 kHz of total bandwidth from a single transducer, covering the popular 200 kHz fishing frequency. The high frequency ensures excellent shallow water performance, clear bottom details, and sharp 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 provides good resolution at speed when installed correctly. It has a stainless steel housing suitable for fiberglass, wood, or metal hulls. There are also transom-mount (TM185HW), in-hull (M285HW), and bronze housing (B175HW) models available. It features exclusive Xducer ID® technology. Airmar's unique wide beam, high frequency Chirp-ready transducers offer more coverage under your boat. The high band operates from 150 to 250 kHz with a fixed 25° beam for all frequencies, resulting in superior resolution. The constant wide beamwidth provides twice the coverage under the boat and excellent fish arches on the display compared to most high frequency narrow beam options. This high wide transducer is ideal for both inshore and pelagic fishing, crucial for resolution and maximum coverage down to 500'. Tilted element transducers have the element fixed at 20°, 12°, or 0° within the housing. When installed almost flush to the hull, the tilt corrects for the hull deadrise and orients the ceramic element horizontally for 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 is quite straightforward. First, make sure to choose the right installation model according to your boat's hull type, whether it's thru - hull, transom - mount, in - hull, or the bronze housing model. When installing the thru - hull model, ensure that it is installed properly to get good resolution at speed. The tilt of the element in the transducer is designed to correct for the hull deadrise, so just install it almost flush to the hull, and it will orient the ceramic element horizontally for better echo returns. For maintenance, keep the acoustic window clean, as it's made of urethane. Avoid hitting the transducer against hard objects, especially if it has a stainless steel or bronze housing. Check the connections regularly to ensure a stable signal. When using it for fishing, remember that the high frequency provides great performance in shallow water, and the wide beamwidth helps detect fish in the upper water column. This transducer is suitable for both inshore and pelagic fishing, but always be aware of its maximum depth limit of 152 m (500').
