Airmar B175MW Med Ultra Wide 1kW, 20° Chirp Thru-Hull Transducer f/8-Pin Garmin - B175C-20-MW-8G

Airmar’s innovative transducer designs have revolutionized the fishing world, and they continue to do so with the Chirp-ready B175 Medium Ultra-Wide (MW) Tilted Element™ Thru-hull transducer. The B175MW takes transducer design and performance to a whole new level by using medium frequency (60-100 kHz) with an incredible ultra-wide beamwidth ranging from 57-73° port-starboard to 16° average fore-aft. Maximum coverage under the boat is achieved with this medium-frequency transducer, serving anglers who target pelagic species in the upper water column.

Airmar’s Medium Ultra-Wide models are perfect for seeking deeper species with a frequency band from 60-100 kHz. When paired with our other popular models such as the B275LHW, provides the angler with a broad set of frequencies (Low, Medium-Wide, High-Wide) to interrogate targets from deep to shallow.

The B175MW Tilted Element Thru-hull is a 1 kW transducer housed in one of AIRMAR’s most popular Tilted Element housings which includes a ceramic element fixed at a 20° angle. Because the transducer is installed almost flush with the hull, the tilted element corrects for the hull deadrise and orients the ceramic element vertically to ensure maximum echo returns to the transducer.
