Airmar SS175C-20-H 20d Tilt High CHIRP with Garmin 8-Pin

The Airmar SS175C-20-H is a top - notch depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor. With a 1 kW power and a max depth of 304 m (1000'), it's a great choice for boats up to 11 m (36'). This transducer offers a high frequency range from 130 kHz to 210 kHz with a 10° to 6° beamwidth, and 80 kHz of total bandwidth from one transducer. The high frequency ensures excellent shallow water performance, clear bottom details, and good fish target separation. It comes with a stainless - steel housing that fits all hull types and materials, and there's also a bronze housing (B175H) option. The exclusive Xducer ID® technology adds to its appeal. Airmar's low - profile Chirp - ready transducers are ideal for smaller boats like center consoles. The low - frequency band is great for deep water, offering wide coverage and tracking. The SS175L can provide up to 20 kHz of total bandwidth in one installation. Tilted element transducers have a ceramic element fixed at a 20°, 12°, or 0° angle. Installed almost flush to the hull, they correct for hull deadrise and ensure accurate depth readings. Specifications include a weight of 2.7 kg (6 lb), hull deadrise up to 24°, a urethane acoustic window, a 98 mm (3 - 7/8') hole size, and one internal ceramic assembly.

Using the Airmar SS175C - 20 - H is quite straightforward. First, choose the right place on your boat's hull to install it. Make sure the hull deadrise is within 24°. Drill a 98 mm (3 - 7/8') hole as required. Install the transducer almost flush to the hull. Connect it to your Garmin device using the 8 - pin connection. When using it, the transducer will start providing depth and water - temperature readings. In shallow water, the high - frequency setting will give you clear details of the bottom and help you spot fish. In deep water, switch to the low - frequency band for better coverage. As for maintenance, regularly check the acoustic window made of urethane. If it gets dirty, clean it gently with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Also, check the housing for any signs of damage, especially if you've hit something in the water. If you notice any issues, consult a professional or contact the manufacturer.
