Detailed description

Designed for navigation and fishing, the AIRMAR B175HW/0 depth sounder is a 1kW CHIRP through-hull transducer offering depth and temperature functions. Its bronze housing and 0° tilted element are optimized for installation on fiberglass or wood hulls with a deadrise angle between 0° and 7°.

CHIRP technology and acoustic performance

This single-channel sounder operates across a wide high-frequency band from 150 kHz to 250 kHz and delivers 1 kW of power. It features a wide and constant 25° beam across the entire frequency range. This characteristic provides twice the coverage under the boat compared to traditional narrow-beam transducers, improving detection in shallow water, target separation, and seafloor detail resolution. The B175HW/0 can reach a maximum depth of 152 meters (500 feet).

Installation and compatibility

The low-profile through-hull design of the AIRMAR B175HW/0 minimizes drag and allows the boat to be trailered without risk of transducer damage, as it protrudes less than 6 mm (1/4 inch) from the hull. The 0° tilted ceramic element is pre-set to compensate for hull angle, ensuring optimal horizontal orientation for the transducer. Installation requires a 95 mm (3-3/4 inch) hole and offers a usable shaft length of 71 mm (2.80 inches). It is recommended for vessels up to 11 meters (36 feet) in overall length. This model also includes Airmar’s exclusive Xducer ID® technology. The supplied cable is 9 meters long and is Mix & Match (M&M) type, requiring a 10-pin adapter for connection to some electronic systems.

Expert opinion

« AIRMAR B175HW/0 fishfinder: technical analysis and integration »

The AIRMAR B175HW/0 transducer is a strategic choice for recreational boaters and anglers seeking high-performance underwater detection, particularly in coastal and shallow waters. Its CHIRP technology with a constant 25° wide beam on the 150–250 kHz band offers a significant advantage in coverage and resolution. Unlike narrow-beam transducers that may miss lateral targets, the B175HW/0 doubles the scanned area beneath the boat, resulting in better fish school identification and more detailed bottom mapping.

In terms of installation, this through-hull model with a 0° tilt is specifically designed for flat hulls or those with a low keel angle (0 to 7°). Its bronze housing is suitable for fiberglass or wooden hulls, providing proven durability in marine environments. The low-profile design notably reduces hydrodynamic drag and allows for unconstrained towing. It is critical to respect the 95 mm hole diameter and ensure perfect waterproofing during installation. While through-hull transducer installation is not "plug & play," the automatic keel angle compensation via the 0° element simplifies alignment for compatible hulls, eliminating the need for complex chocks or shims.

This transducer is particularly relevant for offshore and coastal fishing where clear, detailed visualization of the water column and bottom is essential. Its ability to provide depth and temperature data makes it a central element for navigation and identifying productive fishing zones. However, it is important to note that its 152 m maximum depth limits it primarily to fishing applications in mid-to-shallow waters rather than deep-sea exploration.

What is the operating frequency range of this depth sounder?

This transducer operates on a wide high-frequency band ranging from 150 kHz to 250 kHz.

What is the transmit power of the B175HW/0 depth sounder?

The B175HW/0 transducer has a transmit power of 1 kW.

What data can this depth sounder measure?

It can measure water depth and temperature.

What is the housing material of the B175HW/0 depth sounder?

The depth sounder housing is made of bronze.

What is the maximum depth the B175HW/0 transducer can reach?

The B175HW/0 transducer can reach a maximum depth of 152 m (500 ft).

What is the beam angle of this CHIRP transducer?

It has a wide and constant 25° beam across its entire frequency range.

What are the advantages of a 25° wide beam?

A wide beam of 25° provides coverage twice as large under the boat compared to traditional narrow-beam transducers. This improves detection in shallow water, target separation, and seafloor detail rendering.

What is Xducer ID® technology integrated in this depth sounder?

Airmar’s Xducer ID® technology is an exclusive system that allows compatible fishfinders to automatically recognize the transducer’s characteristics for optimal setup.

Is this a single-channel or multi-channel depth sounder?

This is a single-channel transducer, operating on a single wide high-frequency band.

What is the installation type for the B175HW/0 transducer?

This is a through-hull transducer, meaning it is installed through the boat's hull.

For which hull type is this transducer recommended?

It is optimized for installation on fiberglass or wooden hulls.

What deadrise angle is suitable for installing this depth sounder?

It is designed for hulls with a deadrise angle between 0° and 7°.

What hole diameter is required to install the transducer?

Installation requires a 95 mm (3-3/4 in) hole drilled through the hull.

What is the specific feature of this depth sounder's low-profile design?

Its low-profile design minimizes drag and protrudes less than 6 mm (1/4 inch) from the hull, allowing the boat to be trailered without risk of damage.

What is the purpose of the 0° tilted ceramic element?

The 0° tilted ceramic element is pre-set to compensate for the hull angle, ensuring optimal horizontal alignment of the transducer for maximum performance.
