Description
Airmar B275C-LHW Bronze CHIRP Transducer | Boat Supply Store
This Airmar B275C-LHW transducer overcomes the limitations of narrow sonar beams in deeper waters by providing a broad 25° beam width across its entire 150-250 kHz CHIRP band. Its 1 kW power output effectively penetrates water to deliver detailed bottom structure and fish targets. Constructed from durable bronze for thru-hull mounting, this unit also incorporates precise depth and temperature sensing capabilities, making it ideal for serious anglers targeting structure or seeking improved baitfish detection in offshore environments.
Key Features
- Unrivaled Coverage: Constant 25° beam width across the entire high-frequency CHIRP band delivers twice the coverage of standard transducers.
- Enhanced Fish Detection: Wider beam captures more baitfish schools and structural details for improved target acquisition.
- Superior Bottom Imaging: Crisper and larger return images on your display provide clearer seabed visualization.
- Powerful Performance: 1 kW power output ensures strong signal penetration for depth and detail.
- Broad Frequency Range: Combines Low Frequency (42-65 kHz) and High Frequency (150-250 kHz) CHIRP for versatile performance.
- Durable Construction: Robust bronze thru-hull housing is engineered for longevity in harsh marine conditions.
- Integrated Sensors: Includes precise depth and temperature readings directly from the transducer.
- CHIRP Optimization: Specifically designed to leverage the full potential of CHIRP-ready echosounders.
