Airmar SS175C-20-H 20d Tilt High CHIRP with Humminbird 14-Pin

The Airmar SS175C - 20 - H is a high - performance depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor. With a 1 kW power and a max depth of 304 m (1000'), it's ideal for boats up to 11 m (36'). It offers a high frequency range from 130 kHz to 210 kHz with a 10° to 6° beamwidth, and 80 kHz of total bandwidth from a single transducer. The high frequency ensures great shallow - water performance, detailed bottom view, and clear fish target separation. Its stainless - steel housing suits all hull types and materials, and there's also a bronze housing (B175H) option. It features exclusive Xducer ID® technology. Airmar's low - profile Chirp - ready transducers are perfect for small boats like center consoles. The low - frequency band excels in deep water. The tilted element, fixed at 20°, 12°, or 0° within the housing, corrects for hull deadrise up to 24°, ensuring accurate depth readings. It has a urethane acoustic window and requires a 98 mm (3 - 7/8') hole size, with one internal ceramic assembly and weighing 2.7 kg (6 lb).

Using the Airmar SS175C - 20 - H transducer is easy. First, make sure your boat is up to 11 m (36') in size as recommended. Install the transducer almost flush to the hull, choosing the right angle (20°, 12°, or 0°) of the tilted element according to your hull deadrise. The element will correct the beam direction for accurate depth readings. When it comes to maintenance, keep the acoustic window clean. You can use a soft cloth to wipe it gently. Also, regularly check the housing for any signs of damage, especially if you're using it in rough waters. Avoid hitting the transducer against hard objects. In terms of storage, keep it in a dry place to prevent rust on the stainless - steel housing or damage to the internal ceramic assembly. If you're using the bronze housing model, be aware that it might need a bit more care to prevent corrosion. And remember, this transducer is designed to work well with the Humminbird 14 - Pin setup, so make sure your system is compatible.
