Airmar TM185C‑HW High Wide CHIRP Transom Mount Transducer Series for Navico
The Airmar TM185C‑HW delivers exceptional high‑frequency CHIRP performance, offering increased fish detection coverage and higher detail in the upper water column. Operating from 150 to 250 kHz with a constant 25° beamwidth, this 1 kW transducer provides precise imaging, clear fish arches, and excellent shallow‑to‑mid‑depth bottom detail.
Ideal for outboard and I/O powered boats up to 10 m (32 ft), the TM185C‑HW is built with a urethane body and stainless‑steel mounting bracket for long‑term durability. The integrated fast‑response temperature sensor ensures real‑time feedback while Airmar’s Xducer ID® technology enables seamless auto‑setup with Navico CHIRP‑ready sounders.
