Airmar M285HW Single Band Chirp-Ready In-Hull Transducer

Airmar's M285HW Single Band Chirp-Ready In-Hull Transducer operates through a unique wide-beam, high-frequency band to deliver superior shallow-water performance, bottom detail and fish target separation. This depth transducer option is the ideal choice for both inshore and pelagic fishing, where resolution and maximum coverage are essential down to 500' (152 m). The M285HW offers a constant wide beam that provides twice the coverage for detecting fish in the upper-water column and clear fish arches on the display compared to most high-frequency, narrow-beam transducers.

Features:

• In-hull depth sensor designed for solid-fiberglass hulls
• 1 kW of power for great shallow water performance
• Covers popular fishing frequencies of 200 kHz plus everything else in the bandwidth
• Exclusive Xducer ID® technology
• Continuous monitoring of ceramic operating temperatures
• Durable urethane housing with mounting base
• Perfect for trailered or lifted boats up to 36' (11 m)
• Recommended for planing or displacement hull
• Transducer inserts into base and adjusts to the proper deadrise offset, ensuring the beam is shooting straight down for maximum echo returns
• Should be filled with non-toxic antifreeze to provide the best medium to transmit through solid fiberglass and into the surrounding water
