Airmar SS175C-12-L 12d Tilt Low CHIRP With No Connector

The Airmar SS175C-12-L is a remarkable depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor. It features a 1 kW power output. With a low frequency range from 40 kHz to 60 kHz, it offers excellent performance up to a depth of 762 m (2500'), with a beamwidth of 32° to 21°. This transducer provides great deep - water performance. Its high - performance, low - profile thru - hull housing ensures good resolution at speed when installed correctly. Made of stainless steel, it's suitable for stepped, planing or displacement hulls in fiberglass, wood or metal boats up to 11 m (36'). There's also a bronze housing (B175L) model for fiberglass and wood hulls. It comes with exclusive Xducer ID® technology. Airmar’s low - profile Chirp - ready transducers are ideal for smaller boats like center consoles. The low - frequency band is perfect for deep water, offering excellent coverage and tracking. The SS175L provides up to 20 kHz of total bandwidth in a single installation. Tilted element transducers have a ceramic element fixed at a 12° angle, installed almost flush to the hull to correct for hull deadrise and ensure accurate depth readings. Specifications include a weight of 2.7 kg (6 lb), a hull deadrise of up to 24°, a urethane acoustic window, a hole size of 98 mm (3 - 7/8'), and seven internal broadband ceramic assemblies.

Using the Airmar SS175C - 12 - L transducer is quite straightforward. First, choose the right location on your boat's hull. For boats up to 11 m (36'), this transducer is a great fit. Make sure the hull deadrise is up to 24°. Drill a 98 mm (3 - 7/8') hole as per the specifications. Install the transducer almost flush to the hull. Once installed, it will start measuring the depth and water temperature. When it comes to the low - frequency CHIRP function, it's designed for deep - water use. You'll get excellent coverage and tracking in deeper waters. Just turn on your device and let the transducer do its job. As for maintenance, keep the acoustic window (made of urethane) clean. Avoid hitting the transducer with hard objects. Regularly check the connections to ensure there are no loose parts. If you notice any issues, refer to the manufacturer's guide or contact customer support. And remember, if your boat has a fiberglass or wood hull, you can also consider the bronze housing (B175L) model for different needs.
