Airmar SS175C-20-H 20d Tilt High CHIRP with Raymarine 11-Pin

The Airmar SS175C-20-H is a high - performance depth and water - temperature sensor. It features a 1 kW power output, reaching a maximum depth of 304 m (1000'). With a high - frequency range from 130 kHz to 210 kHz and a 10° to 6° beamwidth, it offers 80 kHz of total bandwidth from a single transducer. This high - frequency design provides excellent shallow - water performance, clear 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. There's also a bronze housing (B175H) option. It uses the exclusive Xducer ID® technology. The low - profile Chirp - ready design is perfect for smaller boats like center consoles. The low - frequency band excels in deep water. The SS175L can offer up to 20 kHz of total bandwidth in one installation. The transducer has a tilted ceramic element at 20°, 12° or 0°, installed almost flush to the hull to correct for hull deadrise, ensuring 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 one internal ceramic assembly.

Using the Airmar SS175C - 20 - H is quite straightforward. First, make sure to choose the right housing type, either stainless steel or bronze. Install the transducer almost flush to the hull, and it will correct for the hull deadrise to give you accurate depth readings. When it comes to power, connect it properly according to the requirements. This product is suitable for boats up to 11 m (36'), so don't use it on larger vessels. For maintenance, keep the acoustic window clean. The urethane window can get dirty over time, which may affect the performance. You can gently clean it with a soft cloth. Also, check the connections regularly to ensure they are secure. If you notice any issues with the depth or temperature readings, check the transducer's orientation and the internal ceramic assembly.
