Product Detail
The Airmar SS175C-12-M 12d Tilt Medium CHIRP transducer with Humminbird 9-Pin is a top - choice for smaller boats like center consoles. It's a 1 kW depth and water - temperature sensor. With a low frequency range from 40 kHz to 60 kHz, it can reach a maximum depth of 762 m (2500') and has a 32° to 21° beamwidth, offering great deep - water performance. Its high - performance, low - profile thru - hull housing, made of stainless steel, is suitable for stepped, planing or displacement hulls in fiberglass, wood or metal, and provides good resolution at speed when installed correctly. The recommended boat size is up to 11 m (36'). There's also a bronze housing (B175L) model for fiberglass and wood hulls. It features exclusive Xducer ID® technology. The low - profile Chirp - ready design is perfect for smaller vessels. The low - frequency band is excellent for deep - water coverage and tracking. This transducer delivers up to 20 kHz of total bandwidth in one installation. Tilted element transducers have a ceramic element fixed at a 12° angle in the housing, installed almost flush to the hull to correct for hull deadrise and ensure accurate depth readings. Specifications: Weight 2.7 kg (6 lb), Hull Deadrise up to 24°, Acoustic Window Urethane, Hole Size 98 mm (3 - 7/8'), and it has seven internal broadband ceramic assemblies.
Using the Airmar SS175C - 12 - M transducer is easy. First, make sure to choose the right location on your boat. The recommended boat size is up to 11 m (36'), so it's designed for smaller vessels. Install it almost flush to the hull, and the 12° tilted element will correct for the hull deadrise to give you accurate depth readings. When using, you'll get great deep - water performance, thanks to its low - frequency range from 40 kHz to 60 kHz. It can also measure water temperature. As for maintenance, keep the acoustic window (made of urethane) clean. Avoid scratching it as it can affect performance. Check the housing regularly, especially if you're using it on different hull types like fiberglass, wood or metal. If you have any issues, refer to the user manual or contact the manufacturer. Also, note that there's a bronze housing (B175L) model available for fiberglass and wood hulls, so you can choose the one that suits your boat best.
