Airmar SS175C-12-M 12d Tilt Medium CHIRP with Garmin 12-Pin

The Airmar SS175C-12-M is a top - notch depth and water - temperature sensor. It features a 1 kW power output with a maximum depth reach of 457 m (1500'). Operating at a medium frequency from 85 kHz to 135 kHz, it offers a 16° to 11° beamwidth and 50 kHz of total bandwidth from a single transducer. This frequency range is great for boats up to 11 m (36'), delivering excellent performance from shallow to mid - depth waters, clear bottom details, and sharp fish target separation. Its stainless - steel housing fits all hull types and materials, and there's also a bronze housing option (B175M). The exclusive Xducer ID® technology adds to its appeal. The medium frequency gives a perfect balance of boat - bottom coverage, extended depth range, and accurate target returns in mid to deep waters. Tilted at 12°, it corrects for hull deadrise up to 24° to ensure maximum echo returns. With a urethane acoustic window and a 98 mm (3 - 7/8') hole size, it's a reliable choice. It has one internal ceramic assembly and weighs 2.7 kg (6 lb).

Using the Airmar SS175C - 12 - M is easy. First, choose the right location on your boat. It's suitable for boats up to 11 m (36'). Make sure to drill a 98 mm (3 - 7/8') hole as specified. The transducer can be installed almost flush to the hull, and the 12° tilt will correct for hull deadrise up to 24°. This ensures the ceramic element is horizontal and gets maximum echo returns. When using, keep in mind that it can reach a maximum depth of 457 m (1500'), so it's great for a variety of water depths. For maintenance, regularly check the urethane acoustic window for any signs of damage. If you notice any cracks or wear, it might need replacement. Also, clean the housing to keep it in good condition. Whether you're using it for fishing or just getting water depth information, this transducer will serve you well.
