Airmar M285HW High Wide Chirp In-Hull 1KW - Requires Mix and Match Cable — Product description

1 kW

Get more coverage under your boat with Airmar's unique wide-beam, high-frequency, Chirp-ready M285HW. The high-frequency band operates across a range of 150 to 250 kHz and has a fixed 25° beam for all frequencies. The high-frequency band delivers superior shallow-water performance, bottom detail, and fish-target separation. The constantly wide beam 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. The high wide is the ideal choice for both inshore and pelagic fishing, where resolution and maximum coverage are essential down to 152 m (500').

The M285HW includes a plastic mounting base which is aligned to the centerline and secured inside the hull. Then it is filled with non-toxic antifreeze. The transducer is inserted into the base and adjusted for the proper deadrise offset, ensuring the beam is shooting straight down for maximum echo returns. The eco-friendly coolant is the best medium to transmit through solid fiberglass and into the surrounding water. The major benefit of an in-hull transducer is no protruding features on the exterior of the hull, making it the perfect choice for trailered or lifted boats. Designed for smaller boats up to 11 m (36') with a solid-fiberglass hull.



M285HW Chirp In-Hull 1kw Transducer

Requires Mix and Match Cable

The M285HW, is a 1kW, economical Chirp transducer designed for offshore fishing and freshwater anglers. Operating at the high frequency range of 150-250kHz and a fixed wide beam of 25 degrees, these transducers reveal ultra-clear target resolution in shallow,murky waters at shallow to medium depths(up to 700 feet*).

The transducer includes a plastic housing which is secured inside the hull of the boat and is filled with Eco-friendly anti-freeze. The transducer is inserted into the housing and adjusted for the proper dead rise offset,insuring the beam is shooting straight down. The liquid provides the best medium to transmit through the fiberglass and into the surrounding water. The benefits to the in-hull transducer are that there are no protruding features on the exterior of the hull making it the perfect choice for trailered or lifted boats. Designed for smaller boats up to 25’ with solid core,fiberglass hulls.

M285HW Chirp 1kw sensor requires mixed and matched cables. M285HW is a 1kW, economical Chirp sensor, specially designed for offshore fishing and freshwater anglers. These transducers work in the high frequency range of 150-250kHz and have a fixed 25 degree wide beam, which can display ultra-clear target resolution in shallow to turbid shallow water to medium depth (up to 700 feet*). The sensor includes a plastic shell, which is fixed inside the hull and filled with environmentally friendly antifreeze. Insert the transducer into the housing and make proper dead angle compensation to ensure that the beam is oriented. Liquid is the best medium and can be transported into the surrounding water through glass fibers. The advantage of in-ship sensors is that there are no obvious features on the outside of the hull, which makes it ideal for towing or hoisting ships. Designed for no more than 25 boats with solid fiberglass hulls. Features: 25 degree fixed beam width Depth range: up to 700 (215 meters) polyurethane shell filled with liquid Xducer ID specifications: weight: 9.17 pounds (4.16 kg) hull air stroke: adjustable 2 to 20 soundproof windows: use polyurethane solid glass fiber Hull as long as
