Airmar TM185C Transducer Medium CHIRP With Raymarine 11-Pin

The Airmar TM185C Transducer is a great choice for offshore fishing and freshwater anglers in shallow to mid - range depths. It features 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 from 85 to 135 kHz, it offers a 50 kHz total bandwidth from one transducer. This covers popular fishing frequencies like 88 and 107 kHz. The medium frequency ensures excellent performance from shallow to mid - depth, providing clear bottom details and good fish - target separation. It has a transom - mount design with a urethane housing and a stainless - steel bracket for outboard and I/O powered boats. There are also thru - hull (B285M, B175M) and in - hull (M135M) models available. It comes with exclusive Xducer ID® technology. Specifications include a weight of 4.16 kg (9.17 lb), accommodating transom angles from 3° to 21°, and an acoustic window made of urethane. The box includes TM185C - M - MM and MMC - 11R - HM.

Using the Airmar TM185C Transducer is quite straightforward. First, make sure to choose the right mounting option. If you have an outboard or I/O powered boat, the transom - mount design is a good choice. Just use the stainless - steel bracket to secure it properly. For other models like thru - hull or in - hull, follow the specific installation instructions. When using it, turn it on and let it warm up for a short while. It will start providing you with depth and water - temperature information. You can use it for fishing in shallow to mid - range depths, and it will clearly show you fish and bottom structures. As for maintenance, keep the acoustic window clean. You can use a soft cloth to wipe it gently. Check the connections regularly to ensure they are tight. Avoid hitting the transducer against hard objects as it may damage the sensor. Also, store it in a dry place when not in use to prevent corrosion.
