Navico XSONIC SS75M 20° Tilted Element TH Transducer - 600W - Stainless Steel

Upgrade your boat's sonar capabilities with the XSONIC SS75M, a rugged stainless steel thru-hull transducer designed for anglers chasing fish in waters from shallow bays to deeper offshore spots. This 20-degree tilted element model delivers crisp Medium CHIRP imaging at 80-130 kHz, striking the perfect balance between deep-water bottom tracking and sharp target separation for spotting schools of baitfish or that trophy catch lurking below. Built tough for sportfishing boats up to 25 feet, it mounts seamlessly through the hull, providing reliable depth readings and water temperature data to help you navigate safely and fish smarter.

Why Anglers Trust the SS75M for Superior Sonar Performance

Crafted from durable stainless steel, this transducer withstands harsh marine environments while its low-profile design—just 5mm protruding outside the hull—cuts drag for better fuel efficiency and smoother rides. The built-in 20-degree tilt compensates for hull deadrises between 16 and 24 degrees, ensuring optimal beam angle for accurate echo returns without guesswork during installation. Whether you're trolling for bass in freshwater lakes or hunting snapper in coastal depths, the Medium CHIRP range excels at revealing structure, thermoclines, and individual fish with remarkable clarity, often 5-10 times more detail than traditional fixed-frequency sonar.

Key Features That Elevate Your Fishing Game

• Medium CHIRP Excellence: 80-130 kHz frequency sweeps deliver exceptional resolution in shallows and solid bottom lock in depths up to hundreds of feet.
• Tilted Element Design: Pre-angled ceramic for deadrise matching, maximizing signal strength and minimizing air bubbles or distortion.
• Integrated Sensors: Precise depth measurement plus analog/digital temperature sensing to track water conditions and locate bait balls.
• Robust Construction: Stainless steel housing resists corrosion, ideal for saltwater exposure on commercial or recreational vessels.
• Extended Reach: 33-foot cable gives flexibility for clean routing to your display unit.
• Power Handling: Rated at 600 watts for strong performance without overwhelming smaller systems.

Installation Tips for Peak Performance

Installing a thru-hull transducer like the SS75M requires care to avoid common pitfalls. Select a flat hull section forward of the propellers, away from strakes or thru-hulls that could interfere with the beam. Use a fairing block if needed for deadrise matching, though the 20-degree tilt handles most cases. Fair the leading edge to promote laminar flow, reducing turbulence that muddies readings at speed. Seal thoroughly with marine-grade sealant, and route the cable securely to prevent chafing. Test in calm water post-install to verify clear bottom tracking and temperature accuracy—expect immediate improvements in fish arch definition and depth precision.

Real-World Advantages for Everyday Boaters

Fishermen report the SS75M transforms vague sonar blobs into detailed pictures of wrecks, drop-offs, and suspended game fish. Its Medium CHIRP shines where Low frequencies lose resolution in shallows and High ones fall short on depth. Pair it with modern multifunction displays for XID digital switching, unlocking even finer control. For trailered boats, the stainless build shrugs off beaching and freshwater rinses, maintaining peak output season after season. If you're tired of noisy returns or poor mid-range performance, this tilted thru-hull setup delivers the reliability serious anglers demand.
