Airmar SS175C-12-MW 12d Tilt Medium CHIRP Ultra Wide With Garmin 8-Pin MMC

The Airmar SS175C-12-MW 12° Tilt Medium CHIRP Ultra Wide with Garmin 8-Pin MMC is a professional-grade thru-hull transducer designed for anglers and boaters who demand reliable depth and temperature data in real time. Built for vessels with 8° to 15° hull deadrise, this fixed 12° tilted transducer delivers consistent performance across a wide range of hull angles without requiring manual adjustment. Whether you're running shallow coastal waters or dropping into offshore structure, this transducer integrates seamlessly with Garmin chartplotters via the standard 8-pin Mix-N-Match cable connector.

The Medium CHIRP Ultra Wide frequency band provides exceptional horizontal coverage—ideal for identifying structure, baitfish, and bottom composition across a broader cone angle than traditional narrow-beam designs. The fast-response water-temperature sensor gives you accurate thermal layers and seasonal patterns critical for locating active fish. Airmar's tilted element technology compensates for hull geometry, ensuring zero deadzone and stable readings even when your boat is running hard or pitching in following seas. The thru-hull installation offers superior signal clarity compared to transom mounts, while the rugged stainless steel housing withstands salt spray, impact, and years of heavy use.

This transducer is ideal for dedicated anglers running center console or cabin boats in the 20- to 40-foot range who want professional-grade sonar without unnecessary complexity. The 12° fixed tilt works perfectly for most recreational and commercial fishing vessels; if your hull falls outside the 8° to 15° deadrise range, Airmar offers alternative fixed angles or fully adjustable models. Installation requires a thru-hull hull penetration and basic wiring to your Garmin unit—consult your chartplotter manual for proper cable routing. At 11 pounds, expect moderate weight and size; factor in enclosure space when planning thru-hull placement for optimal transducer cooling and minimal cabin noise.
