Airmar Technology, an established manufacturer of ultrasonic transducers and Chrip technology, has released their new B75HW Tilted Element™ Thru‑hull Transducer, a high frequency 150-250 kHz Chirp-ready depth and temperature transducer.
The low-profile B75HW is ideally suited for boats up to 8m (26’), and delivers advanced shallow-water performance, bottom detail, and clear fish-target returns with the widest coverage in Airmar’s 600W Chirp-ready line.
Offered in a bronze housing for use on stepped, planing or displacement hulls, the B75HW includes Airmar’s patented Xducer ID® technology, which enables the transducer to transmit important data about itself automatically to the connected echosounder.
The B75HW is available in fixed 20°, 12°, and 0° Tilted Element™ models installed nearly flush to the hull. The tilt of the element corrects for the hull deadrise by orienting the beam directly down, maximizing echo returns to the transducer for more accurate depth readings.
The B75HW will initially be available as part of Airmar’s Mix & Match transducer system for fast and simple installation.
Jennifer Matsis, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, commented, “The outstanding benefits of both high frequency and wide beamwidth are merged with the B75HW. The result is 100 kHz of total bandwidth delivering amazing target separation of gamefish and schooling baitfish, plus massive coverage in depths to 106 m (350’), all in just one installation. This is the perfect choice for center consoles and smaller boats, where searching for striped bass or tuna in the upper water column is the tactic of the day.”
