Airmar B175HW Bronze Thru Hull 12° Tilt - 1kW - Requires Mix and Match Cable - B175C-12-HW-MM

Get more coverage under the boat with Airmar's new wide beam Chirp product line. Offering a high frequency range of 150-250 kHz and a constant 25° beam width, these transducers are truly broadband at its best. In addition to improving the performance of Chirp-ready echosounders, anglers using the new wide beam transducers will achieve twice the coverage under the boat compared to our current high frequency Chirp transducers

A unique property of the new high frequency transducers is that the beam width is a constant 25° angle across the entire frequency band. Now, in addition to providing vast bottom coverage and precise fish detection in the upper water column that can sometimes go unseen with our narrow beam transducers, Airmar's new wide beam format also creates crisper and larger return images on the display. We've got you covered.

Maintenance Tips 

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check for any debris or buildup on the transducer surface, which can affect performance.
• Clean After Use: Rinse the transducer with fresh water after each use to prevent saltwater corrosion and buildup.
• Inspect for Damage: Look for any visible cracks or wear on the bronze housing to ensure the transducer remains fully functional.
• Check Cable Connections: Ensure the “Mix and Match” cable connections are secure and free from corrosion to maintain proper signal transmission.
• Winterize for Storage: If storing the vessel for winter, remove the transducer and store it in a dry place to avoid damage from freezing temperatures.
