Detailed description

Designed for precise underwater detection, the AIRMAR B175HW/20 is a 1 kW CHIRP through-hull transducer. Suitable for fiberglass or wooden hulls, this bronze transducer features a fixed 20° tilted element optimized for keel angles from 16° to 24°, ensuring horizontal alignment of the ceramic element for maximum echo performance.

Wide-Band CHIRP Technology

The B175HW/20 employs wide-band CHIRP technology, operating across a frequency range of 150 kHz to 250 kHz. This 100 kHz bandwidth delivers superior resolution and improved fish target separation compared to fixed-frequency transducers. Its constant 25° wide beam provides extended coverage under the boat, doubling the scanned area compared to narrow-beam high-frequency transducers. This coverage enhances fish detection in the upper water column and produces sharper screen images.

Features and Installation

With 1 kW of power, the AIRMAR B175HW/20 can reach a maximum depth of 152 meters under ideal water conditions. It includes fast-response depth detection and water temperature measurement. Its low-profile through-hull design requires a 95 mm mounting hole and ensures good resolution at speed. Airmar’s exclusive Xducer ID® technology enables automatic recognition by the fishfinder for optimized settings. This transducer is recommended for boats up to 11 meters in length and comes with a 9-meter cable compatible with 10-pin CHIRP Furuno fishfinders.

Expert opinion

« Technical analysis of the AIRMAR B175HW/20 CHIRP 1kW transducer »

The AIRMAR B175HW/20 transducer is a technical solution for recreational boaters and anglers seeking a 1 kW CHIRP high-wide detection on mid-sized vessels, typically up to 11 meters. Its main advantage lies in its constant 25° beam over the 150–250 kHz range, providing coverage under the boat twice that of high-frequency narrow-beam transducers. This feature is particularly relevant for identifying fish schools in the upper water column.

Installing this thru-hull transducer requires careful attention. The 20° angled element is specifically designed to correct the deadrise angle of hulls with a deadrise between 16° and 24°, ensuring optimal beam orientation and maximum echo returns. The bronze housing material makes it suitable for fiberglass or wooden hulls. The 95 mm drilling diameter must be factored into installation planning. It is important to note that this transducer is not compatible with the Furuno FCV600 sounder, a critical consideration during system integration. The Xducer ID® technology simplifies initial setup by optimizing sounder settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the primary function of the AIRMAR B175HW/20 transducer?

The AIRMAR B175HW/20 transducer is a 1 kW CHIRP through-hull depth sounder designed for precise underwater detection. It measures water depth and temperature.

What are the operating frequencies of this depth sounder?

This single-band CHIRP transducer operates over a wide high-frequency range from 150 kHz to 250 kHz.

What is the transmit power of the B175HW/20 depth sounder?

The AIRMAR B175HW/20 transducer has a transmit power of 1 kW (1000 Watts).

What is the maximum depth this depth sounder can reach?

Under ideal water conditions, the AIRMAR B175HW/20 transducer can reach a maximum depth of 152 meters.

Does the B175HW/20 transducer measure water temperature?

Yes, this transducer integrates depth detection and fast-response water temperature measurement functions.

What is the beam angle of the depth sounder?

The B175HW/20 transducer provides a constant wide beam of 25°, offering extended coverage beneath the boat.

For which hull types is this transducer suitable?

This bronze transducer is suitable for fiberglass or wooden hulls.

What is the required mounting hole diameter for installation?

The depth sounder through-hull housing requires a 95 mm diameter mounting hole.

What is the fixed tilt angle of the ceramic element?

The transducer includes a fixed 20° tilted element, optimized to compensate for the boat's keel angle.

For which keel angles is this transducer optimized?

The fixed 20° tilted element is optimized for keel angles from 16° to 24°, ensuring horizontal orientation of the ceramic element for maximum echo performance.

Which fishfinders / depth sounders is this transducer compatible with?

This transducer is compatible with Furuno CHIRP sounders with 10-pin connectors.

What is Airmar Xducer ID® technology?

The exclusive Airmar Xducer ID® technology enables automatic transducer recognition by the depth sounder, optimizing settings for improved performance without manual intervention.

Is the B175HW/20 transducer single-band or dual-band?

This is a single-band CHIRP transducer, operating in the high-wide frequency range of 150-250 kHz.

What is the recommended boat length for using this depth sounder?

This transducer is recommended for boats up to 11 meters in length.

Why is the transducer made of bronze?

The transducer housing is made of bronze because this material is robust and suitable for fiberglass or wooden hulls, providing good durability in a marine environment.

What does CHIRP broadband technology provide?

The CHIRP high-wide (150-250 kHz) technology provides superior resolution and improved fish target separation compared to fixed-frequency transducers. Its wide beam enhances fish detection in the upper water column and produces sharper screen images.

Is it recommended to have the transducer installed by a professional?

Installing a through-hull transducer requires drilling a hole in the boat's hull. It is strongly recommended to use a qualified professional to ensure correct and watertight installation, thereby preventing any damage to the boat.
