XSONIC Airmar SS175M (0°)

The XSONIC Airmar SS175M (0°) through-hull transducer is a CHIRP 1 kW stainless steel depth sounder designed for depth detection and water temperature measurement. It features a fixed 0° tilted element.

This transducer operates on a CHIRP medium frequency, covering a range from 85 kHz to 135 kHz.

The XSONIC Airmar SS175M (0°) transducer can reach a maximum depth of 457 metres (1500 feet).

The depth sounder’s beam has an angle ranging from 16° to 11°, providing detailed images of the seabed.

The transducer housing is made of stainless steel, providing durability and compatibility with various hull materials.

Yes, the XSONIC Airmar SS175M (0°) transducer integrates a fast-response water temperature sensor.

The transducer is supplied with a 10-metre (33-foot) cable and a 9-pin connector.

The '0°' indicates that the transducer has a fixed tilted element at 0°. This design is suitable for hulls with a deadrise angle of 0° to 7°, ensuring optimal beam orientation for maximum echo returns.

The CHIRP Medium technology provides an excellent balance between deep penetration and target resolution. It delivers detailed images of the seabed and clear separation of fish in mid-water depths.

The Tilted Element™ technology involves tilting the ceramic elements inside the transducer housing. This compensates for the hull deadrise angle, ensuring the sonar beam is directed straight downward, maximizing echo returns and eliminating the need for a fairing block.

The stainless steel housing of this transducer makes it compatible with all hull materials, including fiberglass, wood, and metal. For metal hulls, proper insulation is required.

Thanks to its fixed 0° angled element, this transducer is specifically suited for hulls with a deadrise angle between 0° and 7°.

Yes, the XSONIC Airmar SS175M (0°) transducer is a compatible accessory for Lowrance fishfinder systems.

Yes, this transducer can be used with all types of boat propulsion.

Before installation, it is imperative to read all instructions carefully. Always wear safety glasses, a dust mask, and hearing protection. After launching the boat, immediately check for any leaks and do not leave the boat unattended for more than three hours.

For fiberglass or wooden hulls, a 95 mm (3-3/4") hole is required. For metal hulls, a 105 mm (4-1/8") hole is needed to accommodate the insulation sleeve.

Choose a location where the water flow under the hull is smooth, without bubbles or turbulence. The transducer must remain continuously submerged and its beam must not be obstructed by the keel or propeller shafts. Avoid areas near water intakes or discharges, and sources of electrical interference. For CHIRP transducers, a cool, well-ventilated location away from the engine compartment is recommended.

On a metal hull, the stainless steel housing must be isolated from the hull to prevent electrolytic corrosion. Use the provided insulation sleeve and ensure the washer is in direct contact with the hull, not the insulation sleeve.

Yes, applying a water-based antifouling paint is mandatory in salt water. Airmar certifies that applying the Foulfree coating on its transducers does not result in any performance loss.

The arrow on top of the transducer must point toward the keel or the boat’s centerline. This orientation is critical to align the internal element’s angle with the hull’s deadrise angle, ensuring optimal sonar performance.
