Airmar SS175C-12-L 12d Tilt Low CHIRP with Si-Tex 8-Pin

The Airmar SS175C-12-L 12d Tilt Low CHIRP transducer with Si-Tex 8-Pin is a great choice for smaller boats up to 11 m (36'). It's a depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor with 1 kW power. The low frequency range from 40 kHz to 60 kHz offers maximum depth performance to 762 m (2500') with a 32° to 21° beamwidth, ensuring excellent deep - water performance. Its high - performance, low - profile thru - hull housing, made of stainless steel, provides good resolution at speed when properly installed and is suitable for fiberglass, wood or metal hulls. There's also a bronze housing (B175L) model for fiberglass and wood hulls. Featuring exclusive Xducer ID® technology, this transducer has seven internal broadband ceramic assemblies. The low - profile Chirp - ready design is perfect for center consoles. Tilted at a 12° angle, it corrects for hull deadrise up to 24°, assuring accurate depth readings. It weighs 2.7 kg (6 lb), has a urethane acoustic window, and requires a 98 mm (3 - 7/8') hole size.

Using this Airmar transducer is easy. First, choose the right model for your boat type and size. If your boat is up to 11 m (36'), the SS175C - 12 - L is a great fit. Install the transducer almost flush to the hull, making sure the hole size is 98 mm (3 - 7/8'). The tilted element at 12° will correct for the hull deadrise up to 24°, giving you accurate depth readings. For best results, install it properly to get good resolution at speed. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the urethane acoustic window. Make sure it's clean and free of any debris. Also, check the stainless steel or bronze housing for any signs of damage. Don't expose the transducer to extreme conditions that could damage its internal broadband ceramic assemblies. And always follow the manufacturer's instructions for any electrical connections.
