Airmar TM185C Transducer High Wide CHIRP With Raymarine 11-Pin

The Airmar TM185C Transducer is a top - notch device for fishing enthusiasts. Modeled as TM185 - HW, it combines a depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor. With 1 kW power, it can reach a maximum depth of 152 m (500'). Operating from 150 kHz to 250 kHz with a constant 25° beamwidth, it offers 100 kHz of total bandwidth from a single transducer. This high - frequency band covers the popular 200 kHz fishing frequency, delivering excellent performance from shallow to mid - depth, clear bottom details, and great fish target separation. The high wide beamwidth gives more coverage under the boat, helping to detect fish in the upper water column. It comes as a urethane transom transducer with a stainless - steel bracket, suitable for outboard and I/O powered boats up to 10 m (32') in size. It's recommended for fiberglass or wood planing and displacement hulls. There are also thru - hull (B175HW) and in - hull (M285HW) models available. Featuring exclusive Xducer ID® technology, this transducer provides superior resolution and twice the coverage under the boat compared to most high - frequency narrow - beam options. It's perfect for both inshore and pelagic fishing where high resolution and wide coverage are crucial down to 500'. Specifications include a weight of 4.16 kg (9.17 lb), accommodation of transom angles from 3° to 21°, and an acoustic window made of urethane. The box includes TM185C - HW - MM and MMC - 11RHM.

Using the Airmar TM185C Transducer is quite straightforward. First, find a suitable location on your boat. It's designed for outboard and I/O powered boats up to 10 m (32'), and is great for fiberglass or wood planing and displacement hulls. Make sure the transom angle is between 3° and 21°. Then, use the stainless - steel bracket to install the urethane transom transducer. Once installed, connect it to your system using the included components (TM185C - HW - MM and MMC - 11RHM). When using it, keep in mind that it's ideal for fishing up to a depth of 500'. For maintenance, regularly check the transducer for any signs of damage, especially the urethane acoustic window. Avoid hitting it against hard objects. If it gets dirty, gently clean it with a soft cloth and mild soap. Store it in a dry place when not in use to prevent any long - term damage.
