Product Detail
The Airmar SS175C-12-M is a top - notch depth and water - temperature sensor. With 1 kW power, it can reach a maximum depth of 457 m (1500'). The medium frequency, ranging from 85 kHz to 135 kHz, offers a beamwidth of 16° to 11°. It provides a 50 kHz total bandwidth from one transducer, delivering excellent shallow to mid - depth performance, sharp bottom details, and great fish target separation. Ideal for boats up to 11 m (36'), its stainless - steel housing is compatible with all hull types and materials. There's also a bronze housing option (B175M). It comes with exclusive Xducer ID® technology. The medium frequency ensures a perfect balance of boat coverage, extended depth range, and clear target returns in mid to deep waters. Operating at 85 - 135 kHz, it can spot fish at medium depths up to 1500' with ultra - clear resolution. The tilted element, fixed at 20°, 12°, or 0° within the housing, corrects for hull deadrise when installed almost flush to the hull, maximizing 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 quite straightforward. First, make sure your boat is up to 11 m (36') in size as this is the recommended size for this transducer. When installing, choose the appropriate tilt angle (20°, 12°, or 0°) based on your hull deadrise. The transducer should be installed almost flush to the hull so that the tilted element can correct for the hull shape and give you the best echo returns. When you're out on the water, the transducer will start working automatically to show you the depth and water temperature. It can also help you spot fish at medium depths. Just turn on your compatible device with the Humminbird 14 - Plan and enjoy the clear readings. As for maintenance, keep the acoustic window clean. Since it's made of urethane, a gentle wipe with a soft cloth should do the trick. Check the housing regularly for any signs of damage, especially if you hit something in the water. If you're not using the transducer for a long time, store it in a dry place. And remember, this transducer has a stainless - steel housing that's compatible with all hull types, but if you have the bronze housing option (B175M), take extra care to prevent corrosion in saltwater environments.
