Product Detail
The Airmar SS175C-20-H is a high - performance depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor. It features 1 kW power with a max depth of 304 m (1000'). With a high frequency range from 130 kHz to 210 kHz and a 10° to 6° beamwidth, it offers 80 kHz of total bandwidth from a single transducer. This high frequency ensures great shallow - water performance, detailed bottom imaging, and clear fish target separation. Ideal for boats up to 11 m (36'), its stainless - steel housing is compatible with all hull types and materials. There's also a bronze housing (B175H) option. It uses the exclusive Xducer ID® technology. Airmar's low - profile Chirp - ready transducers are great for smaller boats like center consoles. The low - frequency band excels in deep water, and the SS175L can provide up to 20 kHz of total bandwidth in one installation. Tilted element transducers have a ceramic element fixed at 20°, 12°, or 0° angles. Installed almost flush to the hull, they correct for hull deadrise and ensure accurate depth readings. Specifications include a 2.7 kg (6 lb) weight, hull deadrise up to 24°, a urethane acoustic window, and a 98 mm (3 - 7/8') hole size with one internal ceramic assembly.
Using the Airmar SS175C - 20 - H transducer is quite straightforward. First, check your boat size. This transducer is recommended for boats up to 11 m (36'). Make sure to select the right angle of the ceramic element (20°, 12°, or 0°) according to your hull deadrise, which can be up to 24°. Install the transducer almost flush to the hull, ensuring the hole size is 98 mm (3 - 7/8'). When using, it will measure depth and water temperature quickly. For better results in deep water, rely on the low - frequency band, and in shallow water, the high - frequency band will give you detailed images. As for maintenance, keep the urethane acoustic window clean to avoid any interference with the signals. Check the housing regularly, especially if you're using it in harsh marine conditions. If you notice any damage to the stainless - steel or bronze housing, have it inspected or repaired promptly. Also, don't forget that this transducer uses exclusive Xducer ID® technology, so keep it updated for optimal performance.
