Airmar B75M 0° CHIRP xSonic through-hull transducer

The XSONIC Airmar B75M (0°) transducer has a power output of 600 W. It operates in the CHIRP mid-frequency range for detailed detection.

The XSONIC Airmar B75M (0°) transducer uses CHIRP technology with a mid-band frequency range, operating from 80 kHz to 130 kHz. This total bandwidth of 50 kHz provides excellent resolution.

Yes, the XSONIC Airmar B75M (0°) transducer provides depth and water temperature data.

The XSONIC Airmar B75M (0°) transducer can reach a maximum depth of 274 meters (900 feet).

The beam angle of the XSONIC Airmar B75M transducer (0°) varies from 24° to 16°, ensuring coverage suited to different depths.

The XSONIC Airmar B75M (0°) transducer is equipped with a 9-pin connector.

The XSONIC Airmar B75M (0°) transducer is supplied with a 10-metre (33-foot) cable.

The CHIRP technology used by the XSONIC Airmar B75M (0°) fishfinder provides higher resolution and detail compared to traditional single-frequency fishfinders. It makes it easier to distinguish between baitfish, gamefish, and underwater structures thanks to its wide bandwidth from 80 kHz to 130 kHz.

The bronze housing of the XSONIC Airmar B75M (0°) transducer is recommended for fiberglass or wooden hulls. It must never be installed in a metal hull due to the risk of electrolytic corrosion.

The XSONIC Airmar B75M (0°) transducer is a model with a 0° tilted element, specifically designed for hulls with a deadrise angle of 0° to 7°. This ensures optimal beam orientation directly beneath the boat.

During installation, wear safety glasses, a dust mask, and hearing protection. Immediately check for leaks once the boat is in the water. Ensure the arrow on top of the transducer points toward the keel or the boat's centerline to align the internal element correctly. Never use solvents to clean the transducer.

Do not install the CHIRP B75M (0°) transducer in the engine compartment or any other hot area, as it may overheat and fail. Also avoid mounting it in line with water intake or discharge openings, or behind hull strakes or other irregularities that could disrupt water flow.

For installation, you will need:

Safety glasses, dust mask, hearing protectionAngle finderElectric drill with a 10 mm (3/8") or larger chuck3 mm (1/8") drill bit70 mm (2-13/16") hole saw for outside of the hull80 mm (3-1/8") hole saw for inside of a fiberglass cored hullSandpaper, mild detergent, marine sealant, hose clamps

It is recommended to apply an antifouling coating such as Foulfree. This non-toxic and eco-friendly coating, certified by Airmar, prevents marine growth from adhering to the transducer surface, ensuring optimal performance. A single application can protect the transducer for up to two years.

Yes, the transducer must remain continuously submerged in water to function properly. It is also critical that the water flow beneath the hull is smooth, with minimal bubbles and turbulence, especially at high speed.

No, the XSONIC Airmar B75M (0°) transducer is equipped with a bronze housing and must never be installed in a metal hull. This would cause electrolytic corrosion. It is designed specifically for fiberglass or wooden hulls.

The XSONIC Airmar B75M (0°) transducer is a compatible accessory for Lowrance sonars and Airmar Tilted Element detection systems/transducers/scanners/antennas. It features a 9-pin connector, making it compatible with devices using this type of connection.

No, the XSONIC Airmar B75M (0°) transducer has a 0° tilted element and is specifically designed for hulls with a deadrise angle between 0° and 7°. For higher deadrise angles, other Airmar transducer models with different tilt angles would be required to ensure optimal performance.

Yes, but for boats capable of speeds above 25 knots (29 MPH), it is recommended to carefully review the installation location and the operating results of similar boats before proceeding with the installation. The location must ensure smooth water flow and continuous immersion of the transducer.

Yes, it is suitable. For fin-keel sailboats, the transducer must be mounted on or near the centerline and forward of the fin keel, 300 to 600 mm (1 to 2 feet) away. For long-keel sailboats, it must be located amidships and away from the keel.
