Common Concerns Answered
What is the issue with the Mix and Match cable?
The Airmar B175HW requires a separate 'Mix and Match' cable, which is sold independently and must be compatible with your specific fishfinder brand. This adds to the total purchase price and requires careful selection to ensure proper integration.
Will this transducer work with my fishfinder?
This transducer utilizes Airmar's 'Mix and Match' cable system. You must purchase the correct adapter cable specific to your fishfinder brand to ensure compatibility. Please verify your fishfinder model's compatibility before purchasing.
Is the cost of the separate cable factored into the price?
The listed price of $1749.99 is for the Airmar B175HW transducer itself. A separate, compatible Mix and Match cable must be purchased additionally to connect it to your echosounder.
