Description
Airmar B175HW 1kW CHIRP Bronze Transducer | Boat Supply Store
Achieve superior target definition and broad underwater coverage with this high-performance CHIRP transducer designed for serious anglers. Its 1kW power output and constant 25° beamwidth across the entire 150-250 kHz frequency range provide twice the coverage area under your vessel compared to traditional high-frequency CHIRP transducers. This facilitates the detection of smaller baitfish and larger game fish with enhanced clarity, particularly effective for bottom fishing and in shallower depths.
Key Features
- Superior Coverage: Constant 25° beamwidth across the full 150-250 kHz CHIRP range.
- Crisp Imaging: Delivers larger, more defined return images for precise target identification.
- Enhanced Detection: 100 kHz of total bandwidth from a single unit captures a wide spectrum of fish.
- High-Frequency Performance: Operates effectively in the 150 kHz to 250 kHz range for detailed shallow water returns.
- Integrated Sensors: Includes a fast-response water temperature sensor for real-time conditions.
- Powerful Output: 1kW power capability ensures strong signal penetration for accurate depth readings.
- Intelligent Integration: Xducer ID® technology simplifies transducer identification and configuration.
- Optimal Hull Mounting: 0-degree tilted element for flush installation on fiberglass or wood hulls.

Common Concerns Answered
Is a cable included with the Airmar B175HW transducer?
No, the Airmar B175HW requires a separate Mix and Match cable, which must be purchased in addition to the transducer.
Can this transducer be returned to the point of purchase if there's an issue?
This product is not returnable to the original point of purchase. For any technical issues or warranty claims, direct contact with the manufacturer, Airmar, is required.
What is the advantage of the constant beamwidth?
The constant 25° beamwidth across the entire frequency range ensures consistent coverage and target identification directly beneath your vessel, offering a significant advantage over transducers with varying beam angles.
