Description
Airmar B75HW CHIRP Transducer | Boat Supply Store
Engineered for precise fish identification and detailed bottom imagery in shallower waters, this Airmar transducer integrates a high-frequency CHIRP element with a wide 30° beamwidth for exceptional target separation under the vessel. Its fixed 12° tilted element is specifically designed to precisely compensate for hull deadrises ranging from 8° to 15°, ensuring optimal sonar performance without requiring complex fairing adjustments. Delivering 600W of power across a 150-250 kHz bandwidth, it achieves a maximum depth penetration of 350 feet, making it an optimal choice for a variety of smaller center console vessels operating in coastal environments.
Key Features
- Superior Target Separation with a wide 30° beamwidth in the high-frequency band.
- Optimized Hull Integration via a fixed 12° tilted element for 8° to 15° hull deadrises.
- High-Frequency CHIRP Ready for advanced sonar detection.
- Enhanced Bottom Detail for precise seabed analysis.
- Robust Bronze Housing for durable thru-hull installation.
- Integrated Depth & Water Temp Sensor for comprehensive data.
- Low-Profile Design minimizes hydrodynamic drag.
- Exclusive Xducer ID® Technology for seamless integration.

Common Concerns Answered
Does the Airmar B75HW include a cable?
No, the Airmar B75HW requires a separate, compatible Mix and Match cable. Ensure you select the correct cable for your specific fishfinder unit to guarantee proper function.
Can installation affect performance?
Yes, optimal performance is contingent upon correct installation. Improper hull fairing, alignment, or sealing can negatively impact sonar readings. Professional installation is recommended for best results.
Is this transducer suitable for very deep water?
This model is optimized for shallow to moderate depths, with a maximum effective depth of 350 feet. For extremely deep water applications, alternative transducers with higher power output and different frequency ranges should be considered.
