Airmar SS175C-12-M 12d Tilt Medium CHIRP with Garmin 8-Pin

The Airmar SS175C-12-M is a top - notch depth and water - temperature sensor. It features a 1 kW power output and can reach a maximum depth of 457 m (1500'). With a medium frequency range from 85 kHz to 135 kHz, it offers a beamwidth of 16° to 11° and a total bandwidth of 50 kHz from one transducer. This medium frequency is great for shallow to mid - depth performance, giving excellent bottom detail and fish target separation. Ideal for boats up to 11 m (36'), it has a stainless - steel housing that's compatible with all hull types and materials. There's also a bronze housing option (B175M). It comes with the exclusive Xducer ID® technology. Operating at 85 - 135 kHz, it can detect fish at medium depths up to 1500' and provides ultra - clear target resolution. The tilted element, fixed at a 12° angle in the housing, corrects for hull deadrise and ensures maximum echo returns. Specifications include a weight of 2.7 kg (6 lb), hull deadrise up to 24°, a urethane acoustic window, a 98 mm (3 - 7/8') hole size, and one internal ceramic assembly.

Using the Airmar SS175C - 12 - M is easy. First, make sure your boat is up to 11 m (36') in size. When installing, note the hull deadrise should be up to 24°. Install the transducer almost flush to the hull, and the 12° tilt will correct for the hull's shape and keep the ceramic element horizontal for better echo returns. This will help you get accurate depth and fish detection. As for maintenance, keep the urethane acoustic window clean. You can use a mild cleaner to avoid any debris buildup that could affect the performance. Also, check the internal ceramic assembly regularly for any signs of damage. If you want to use the bronze housing version (B175M), the installation process is similar, but be aware of the different material properties. Enjoy exploring the waters with clear and accurate depth and fish information provided by this transducer.
