Airmar SS175C-12-M 12d Tilt Medium CHIRP with Si-Tex 8-Pin

The Airmar SS175C-12-M 12d Tilt Medium CHIRP transducer with Si-Tex 8-Pin is a top - notch depth and water - temperature sensor. With 1 kW power, it can reach a maximum depth of 457 m (1500'). Operating at a medium frequency from 85 kHz to 135 kHz, it offers a beamwidth from 16° to 11° and a total bandwidth of 50 kHz from one transducer. This frequency range provides excellent performance from shallow to mid - depth waters, giving clear bottom details and great fish target separation. It's perfect for boats up to 11 m (36'). The stainless - steel housing is compatible with all hull types and materials, and a bronze housing (B175M) is also available. It features the exclusive Xducer ID® technology. Medium frequency gives a great balance of boat coverage, extended depth range, and clear target returns in mid to deep waters. The 85 - 135 kHz frequency reveals fish at medium depths and offers ultra - clear target resolution. Tilted element transducers correct for hull deadrise, ensuring maximum echo returns. Specifications include a weight of 2.7 kg (6 lb), hull deadrise up to 24°, a urethane acoustic window, a hole size of 98 mm (3 - 7/8'), and one internal ceramic assembly.

Using this Airmar transducer is easy. First, find a suitable location on your boat up to 11 m long. Make sure the hull deadrise is up to 24°. Drill a 98 mm hole as required. Install the transducer almost flush to the hull. The 12° tilt will correct for the hull deadrise and make the ceramic element horizontal for the best echo returns. When it comes to operation, turn on your device and let it do its job. It will show you depth and water temperature, and reveal fish at medium depths. As for maintenance, keep the urethane acoustic window clean. You can use a soft cloth to wipe it gently. Check the stainless - steel or bronze housing regularly for any signs of damage. If you notice any issues, contact a professional for repair or replacement. And that's it! You're all set to enjoy great performance from your Airmar transducer.
