Raymarine B175H-W 1KW Bronze Thru Hull 12° Tilted Element

The Raymarine B175H-W 1KW Bronze Thru Hull 12° Tilted Element is a professional-grade transducer engineered for vessels requiring high-powered sonar imaging and reliable fish-finding capability in saltwater and freshwater environments. This bronze thru-hull transducer delivers 1 kilowatt of acoustic power, making it ideal for serious anglers, commercial fishermen, and marine operators who demand superior target detection and bottom mapping. The 12-degree tilted element design optimizes beam geometry for enhanced forward-looking sonar performance while minimizing dead zones directly beneath the hull.

Built with marine-grade bronze construction, the B175H-W resists corrosion and fouling in harsh saltwater conditions where aluminum alternatives deteriorate rapidly. The 1KW power output provides exceptional range and resolution, penetrating deep water columns and delivering crisp sonar imagery even in challenging seabed compositions or turbid conditions. The tilted-element configuration reduces turbulence-induced noise and improves the signal-to-noise ratio, resulting in cleaner, more actionable sonar returns at extended operating ranges. This transducer integrates seamlessly with Raymarine's established sonar ecosystems and multifunction display platforms.

This transducer is most suitable for commercial fishing vessels, larger recreational boats (25+ feet), and permanent installation applications where hull space and power budgets permit the thru-hull mounting method. The bronze housing withstands years of continuous saltwater exposure without sacrificing performance, making it a long-term investment for professionals operating in coastal and offshore environments. Installation requires proper thru-hull drilling and fairing block integration; consultation with a marine electronics specialist ensures optimal beam angle alignment and system compatibility with your existing Raymarine sonar network.
