Airmar B175W CHIRP ready transducer

B175W - Wide Beam CHIRP, 1 kW - Airmar Marine Transducers

Anyone here using this flush mount transducer with the "20 degree" tilt on there DE ?

If so, is it connected to a CHIRP Fish Finder?

I measured the angle of the hull on the 25 T Jason where the old transducer was....it's 18 degrees.

Thanks,

Bill D

I've been on a test rig with that transducer but on a center console. The issue on a downeast hulll is the keel, which depending on the placement of the ducer, especially with the wide angle, could have some shadowing. The further outboard you can get with that ducer the better. Which CHIRP unit do you plan on pairing it with?

I would go with the 16 degree Bill. Especially if you are pushing it outboard.

Since my original post I'm thinking a a B75M CHIRP
connected to a Garmin 1040xs plotter/finder.

The new trailer for the 25 T Jason is due in tomorrow.

I'll be able to measure between bunks and install the transducer between the two say maybe 24 inched out from the keel.

The dead rise is less out further from the keel so depending on the angle I'll install a 12 or 20 degree.

Sure you know this Bill, but make sure there is nothing forward of the install that may introduce air under the ducer.

Can't wait to see the trailer.

Nothing forward of the transducer or the massive cooling water intake for the 370.
