Upgrade your boat's sonar capabilities with a rugged thru-hull transducer designed for serious anglers and commercial operators chasing fish in varied depths. This stainless steel powerhouse delivers crisp Medium CHIRP imaging that punches through water columns better than high-frequency options while sharpening targets sharper than traditional low-frequency setups. Perfect for vessels navigating coastal waters or inland lakes, it captures everything from bait schools to structure with remarkable detail.
Built to withstand harsh marine environments, the tilted element ensures optimal beam projection regardless of hull deadrise, minimizing dead zones and maximizing coverage directly beneath your boat. Whether you're marking wrecks, tracking thermoclines, or spotting trophy fish, this transducer transforms your fishfinder display into a window into the deep.
Unlike narrow high-CHIRP bands that excel in shallow crispness or broad low-CHIRP for extreme depths, Medium CHIRP strikes the perfect balance. Anglers report tighter fish arches, clearer bottom contours, and fewer false readings around bait balls. The 1 kW power handling supports high-output sounders, revealing subtle ledges and drop-offs that hold walleye, bass, or snapper.
For boats up to 36 feet, it mounts flush for hydrodynamic efficiency—no drag, no turbulence. The low-profile design (usable shaft around 2.8 inches) fits most transom setups without major hull modifications.
Installing a thru-hull transducer like this one rewards careful planning. Select a spot forward of the prop and keel, away from strakes or thru-hulls that cause interference. Drill precisely, bed with marine sealant, and secure the nut hand-tight plus a quarter turn. Pair it with a fairing block for high-speed accuracy if your hull demands it.
Once in place, winterize by removing if possible, or flush the system. Regular hull cleaning prevents marine growth from attenuating signals, keeping readings sharp season after season. Pro tip: Calibrate temp and depth offsets in your unit's menu for pinpoint accuracy.
Coastal salmon chasers love its resolution on downriggers. Great Lakes walleye pros rely on it for mid-depth jigging. Offshore bottom bouncers appreciate the steel housing punching through green water. Even tournament bass boats benefit from temp-sensing for post-frontal patterns. It's not just gear—it's your edge on the water.
It works seamlessly on fiberglass, wood, steel, and aluminum hulls up to 36 feet, thanks to its robust stainless steel housing.
Yes, it features a fast-response water-temperature sensor alongside depth capabilities for comprehensive water column data.
The beamwidth varies from 24 degrees at 85 kHz to 16 degrees at 135 kHz, providing excellent target definition across depths.
It's optimized for hulls with 8-15 degree deadrise; for steeper angles, consider adjustable models or a fairing.
It comes with a 33-foot cable and a reliable 9-pin black connector for straightforward integration.
Absolutely, rated for 1 kW systems, it pairs well with powerful Navico-brand units for maximum sonar punch.
It offers deeper penetration than High CHIRP with sharper resolution than Low CHIRP, ideal for mid-range fishing from 50-400 feet.
The SS175M is a stainless steel, thru-hull CHIRP transducer, ideal for sport fishing and commercial vessels up to 8 Meter in length. This single-channel transducer offers Medium CHIRP for a balance between the great depth penetration of Low CHIRP, and the superior target resolution of High CHIRP.
