The Simrad XSONIC AIRMAR B175M transducer offers a medium frequency that provides the ideal combination of coverage under the boat, an extended depth range, and the ability to produce clean and accurate target and structure returns in mid to deeper water. Operating at a frequency range of 85 to 135 kHz, this transducer reveals fish at medium depths of up to 457 m (1,500 feet) and delivers ultra-clear target resolution.
The B175M transmits across the Medium Chirp frequency of 85 to 135 kHz. Tilted Element™ transducers have the element fixed at a 20°, 12°, or 0° angle within the housing. Because the transducer is installed almost flush to the hull, the tilt corrects for the hull deadrise. This orients the ceramic element horizontally to ensure maximum echo returns to the transducer. The fixed 12° tilted version is designed specifically for a hull deadrise of 8° to 15°. The medium frequency provides excellent shallow to mid-depth performance, bottom detail, and fish-target separation. The 16° to 11° beamwidth and a total bandwidth of 50 kHz contribute to its effectiveness. The bronze housing is suitable for planing, displacement, or stepped hulls. The low-profile design and in-hull installation provide good resolution at speed when properly installed.
The depth and water temperature sensor are integrated, with a maximum depth of 457 m.
