Product Detail
The Airmar SS175C-12-L 12d Tilt is a high - performance transducer with Low CHIRP and a Garmin 12 - Pin connection. Model: SS175C - 12 - L. It's a depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor with 1 kW power. The low frequency ranges from 40 kHz to 60 kHz, offering maximum depth performance up to 762 m (2500') with a 32° to 21° beamwidth, delivering great deep - water performance. The high - performance, low - profile thru - hull housing, when properly installed, provides good resolution at speed. It has a stainless - steel housing suitable for stepped, planing or displacement hulls in fiberglass, wood or metal. Recommended for boats up to 11 m (36'). There's also a bronze housing (B175L) model for fiberglass and wood hulls. It uses the exclusive Xducer ID® technology. Airmar’s low - profile Chirp - ready transducers are ideal for smaller boats like center consoles. The low - frequency band excels in deep water, offering excellent coverage and tracking. The SS175L transducer provides up to 20 kHz of total bandwidth in one installation. Tilted element transducers have the ceramic element fixed at 20°, 12° or 0° within the housing. Installed almost flush to the hull, the tilted element corrects for hull deadrise, ensuring maximum echo returns and more accurate depth readings. Specifications: Weight 2.7 kg (6 lb), Hull Deadrise up to 24°, Acoustic Window Urethane, Hole Size 98 mm (3 - 7/8'), and it has seven internal broadband ceramic assemblies.
Using this Airmar SS175C - 12 - L transducer is quite straightforward. First, make sure your boat size is up to 11 m (36') as recommended. Install the transducer almost flush to the hull. The tilted element in it will correct for the hull deadrise to give you accurate depth readings. Just connect it using the Garmin 12 - Pin connection. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the urethane acoustic window. If it gets dirty, gently clean it with a soft cloth. Also, check the housing regularly, especially if you're using it on different types of hulls. The stainless - steel housing is durable, but if you notice any signs of corrosion, take appropriate measures. For the bronze housing model, it's suitable for fiberglass and wood hulls, so be careful not to use it on other materials. And always remember that proper installation is key to getting good resolution at speed and maximum echo returns.
