High-Performance In-Hull CHIRP Transducer for Deep and Mid-Depth Fishing

The Airmar M265C-LM 1kW CHIRP transducer is designed for serious anglers and marine professionals looking for exceptional deep and mid-depth performance without drilling through the hull. With a dual-frequency capability covering low and medium CHIRP bands, this in-hull transducer offers superior target separation, clear bottom discrimination, and enhanced fish detection at various depths.

Equipped with 1 kW of power, the M265C-LM is an ideal solution for vessels targeting deep-sea species while maintaining precise imaging in mid-depth ranges. Its low-frequency band (42-65 kHz) enables deep-water detection down to 914 meters (3,000 feet), while the medium-frequency band (85-135 kHz) enhances target resolution for fish suspended near structures and the seabed.

The transducer is housed within a plastic mounting tank that conforms to the hull’s deadrise angle, ensuring proper orientation for optimal performance. This in-hull installation method eliminates the need to penetrate the hull, making it a preferred choice for trailered and lifted boats.

Advanced CHIRP Technology for Superior Detection

• 1 kW CHIRP-ready transducer for precise target separation and deep-water performance.
• Low-frequency range (42-65 kHz) penetrates deep waters, ideal for offshore fishing.
• Medium-frequency range (85-135 kHz) enhances target resolution and structure identification.
• Covers key fishing frequencies including 50, 88, and 107 kHz.
• Patented Xducer ID® technology ensures seamless integration with compatible sonar systems.
• In-hull installation eliminates the need for drilling, preserving hull integrity.
