Airmar SS175C-20-HW 20d Tilt High Wide CHIRP with Garmin 12-Pin

The Airmar SS175C-20-HW 20° Tilt High Wide CHIRP transducer with Garmin 12-pin connector is purpose-built for anglers and boaters who demand reliable depth finding, water temperature monitoring, and high-definition sonar imaging across diverse freshwater and saltwater conditions. This transom-mount transducer combines proven Airmar engineering with CHIRP frequency technology, delivering the clarity and precision needed to locate structure, thermoclines, and fish holding zones from shallow flats to deep offshore waters. The 20-degree tilt accommodates transom angles on modern recreational and fishing vessels while maintaining optimal beam angles for superior bottom definition and target separation.

Built with a 1 kilowatt power output, the SS175C-20-HW delivers maximum depth capability of 500 feet, making it suitable for both inland lakes and coastal applications. The High Frequency CHIRP band (150 kHz to 250 kHz) produces detailed target imagery with a constant 25-degree beam width, enabling crisp sonar returns at distance while maintaining excellent near-bottom resolution. The integrated fast-response temperature sensor provides real-time water temperature data essential for understanding seasonal fish behavior and locating thermal boundaries. Airmar's proven transducer construction ensures durability and consistent performance in saltwater, brackish, and freshwater environments, with stainless steel hardware and marine-grade materials rated for extended service life.

Anglers running Garmin chartplotters and fishfinders benefit from direct 12-pin plug compatibility, eliminating adapter hassles during installation. This transducer is ideal for tournament bass boats, offshore fishing platforms, and serious freshwater anglers seeking integrated depth, temperature, and sonar in one efficient package. Installation requires standard transom mounting hardware; the 20-degree tilt angle suits most modern hull designs with standard or slightly elevated transducers. Verify your vessel's transom angle and existing Garmin sounder compatibility before purchase to ensure seamless integration with your existing electronics.
