XSONIC Airmar SS75M (20°)

The XSONIC Airmar SS75M (20°) transducer from Airmar is a thru-hull stainless steel model featuring CHIRP mid-frequency technology. It delivers 600W of power and operates within a frequency range of 80 to 130 kHz. It is designed to provide depth and water temperature data.

The SS75M transducer uses CHIRP mid-frequency technology. This technology sends a frequency sweep over a wide band rather than a single fixed frequency, providing better resolution and superior target separation compared to traditional transducers.

The XSONIC Airmar SS75M (20°) transducer operates in a mid-frequency band ranging from 80 kHz to 130 kHz. This range is optimized for a balance between shallow-water detail and bottom-tracking capability in deeper waters.

This transducer can provide depth and water temperature data. It does not measure speed.

Yes, the XSONIC Airmar SS75M (20°) transducer is designed for sport fishing vessels and commercial boats up to 8 meters (26 feet) in length.

The XSONIC Airmar SS75M transducer housing is made of stainless steel. This material ensures durability and compatibility with all hull types.

The XSONIC Airmar SS75M (20°) transducer has a transmit power of 600W.

The SS75M transducer is supplied with a 10-metre (33-foot) cable.

The CHIRP mid-frequency (80-130 kHz) technology provides increased resolution and detail level. It makes it easier to distinguish between baitfish, gamefish, and submerged structures, offering an optimal balance between shallow-water detail and bottom-tracking capability in deeper waters.

The SS75M transducer is a through-hull model. It is designed to be installed through the boat's hull.

The SS75M transducer has a fixed tilt angle of 20°. This angle is designed to compensate for the deadrise angle of the hull so that the transducer’s beam is directed vertically toward the seabed.

The fixed 20° tilt angle of the SS75M transducer is specifically designed for hulls with a deadrise angle between 16° and 24° at the mounting point.

Yes, when installing on a metal hull, the stainless steel housing must be isolated from the metal hull to prevent electrolytic corrosion. An isolation sleeve is typically provided for this purpose.

For optimal operation, the transducer must be mounted in a location where:

The water flow under the hull is smooth, with minimal bubbles and turbulence.
The transducer is continuously submerged in water.
The transducer’s beam is not obstructed by the keel or propeller shaft.
It is kept away from interference sources (propeller, other machinery, other sounders, cables).
For a CHIRP transducer, select a cool, well-ventilated area away from the engine to prevent overheating.

It is strongly recommended to use an anti-fouling coating to maintain the optimal performance of the transducer. Airmar certifies that applying the Foulfree coating on its transducers does not result in any performance loss. Foulfree is a non-toxic, long-lasting coating that prevents marine growth from adhering to the surface.

It is critical to always operate the CHIRP transducer in water. Operating it in air can cause overheating and failure. Additionally, avoid installing the transducer in the engine compartment or any other hot area, as overheating can also lead to malfunction.

Thanks to its stainless steel housing, the XSONIC Airmar SS75M transducer is compatible with all hull materials, including fiberglass, wood, and metal.

The XSONIC Airmar SS75M transducer is equipped with a 9-pin connector, making it compatible with suitable fishfinder systems.

Yes, the XSONIC Airmar SS75M (20°) transducer is a hardware accessory compatible with Lowrance sonar/sensor/transducer/scanner/antenna systems, particularly those using Airmar Tilted Element technology.

No, the XSONIC Airmar SS75M (20°) transducer is designed to measure only water depth and temperature. It does not provide speed data.
