Airmar TM185C Transducer Medium CHIRP With Bare Wires

The Airmar TM185C is a top - notch transducer designed for offshore and freshwater fishing. It features a medium CHIRP with bare wires and comes in model TM185 - M - 0. This transducer serves as both a depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor. With 1 kW power, it can reach a maximum depth of 457 m (1,500'). Operating at a medium frequency of 85 to 135 kHz, it offers a 50 kHz total bandwidth from a single transducer. It covers popular fishing frequencies like 88 and 107 kHz. The medium frequency ensures excellent performance from shallow to mid - depths, clear bottom details, and great fish - target separation. It has a transom - mount design with a urethane housing and a stainless steel bracket, suitable for outboard and I/O powered boats. There are also thru - hull (B285M, B175M) and in - hull (M135M) models available. It uses the exclusive Xducer ID® technology. The TM185M is perfect for anglers in shallow to mid - range depths. It provides wide coverage under the boat, an extended depth range, and clear target and structure returns in mid to deeper water. It can detect fish at medium depths down to 457 m (1,500') with ultra - clear target resolution. 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 - M - MM and MMC - 0.

Using the Airmar TM185C transducer is quite simple. First, decide if you're going to use the transom - mount, thru - hull, or in - hull model according to your boat type. For the transom - mount, use the provided stainless steel bracket to install it on your outboard or I/O powered boat, making sure the transom angle is between 3° and 21°. Once installed, connect it to your boat's system as per the instructions. When you're out fishing, turn it on and let it start detecting the depth and water temperature. It works well in shallow to mid - range depths, so you can focus on those areas. As for maintenance, keep the acoustic window (made of urethane) clean. Avoid hitting it against hard objects to prevent damage. Regularly check the bare wires for any signs of wear or fraying. If you notice any issues, it's best to contact the manufacturer for repair or replacement.
