M285C-HW-MM - Airmar M285HW High Wide Chirp In-Hull 1KW - Requires Mix and Match Cable

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.

The Airmar M285HW In-Hull Transducer, part number M285C-HW-MM, is a 1kW Chirp-ready depth-only transducer designed for marine applications. It operates within a high-frequency range of 150-250kHz with a fixed 25-degree wide beamwidth. This unit is suitable for offshore and freshwater anglers seeking clear target resolution in shallow to medium depths, up to 700 feet. The in-hull design eliminates external protrusions, making it ideal for trailered or lifted boats, and those up to 25 feet with solid core fiberglass hulls. The transducer is housed in a liquid-filled urethane casing, which is secured inside the hull and adjusted for proper deadrise offset, ensuring the beam transmits effectively through the fiberglass into the water. This setup provides reliable depth readings without requiring hull penetration.
