Airmar SS164TH 1kW Flush Mount Transducer — 50/200 kHz, 0°

Meet the Airmar SS164TH, a purpose-built flush-mount transducer engineered for fast, trailered, tournament and sport-fishing vessels that can’t accommodate a bulky fairing. Its low-profile stainless steel housing sits barely 1/4" (6.35 mm) outside the hull, allowing trouble-free mounting on trailer rollers and bunks while maintaining optimal performance. The transducer’s design combines high power with precise beam control, delivering reliable depth and temperature data without compromising your boat’s speed or handling.

Key Features and Benefits

• 1 kW power for deep-water performance — depth capability to 500 m (1,640 ft) with fast, stable returns at speed.
• Dual-frequency operation — 50 kHz with a wide 22° beam for broad bottom scanning up to 500 m; 200 kHz with a focused 6° beam for detailed sonar out to 244 m.
• Low-profile flush-mount design — protrudes less than 6.35 mm (1/4") from the hull, minimizing drag and preserving trailer clearance on rollers and bunks.
• Tilted ceramic arrays for a strong vertical beam — internal tilt concentrates energy directly beneath the boat for solid bottom reading and fish targets.
• Integrated depth and fast-response water-temperature sensor — synchronized data streams for more accurate depth measurements and environmental context.
• Robust stainless steel housing — built to endure all hull materials and harsh marine environments with long-term durability.
• Compatible with high-power echosounders — interfaces cleanly with 600 W or 1 kW sounders for maximum signal strength and clarity.
• Engineered for center-console and trailered boats — delivers top-tier sonar performance without impacting running characteristics or trailer versatility.

Why It Stands Out

The SS164TH is purpose-built for vessels that prize speed, portability, and reliability. Its flush-mount, low-profile housing eliminates the drag and complexity of larger fairings while preserving hull integrity and trailer ease. The tilted ceramic arrays inside the housing maximize energy directly below the boat, yielding sharper bottom readings and more consistent targets in fast-water conditions. This combination of high-power depth performance, precise beam control, and a sail-through-hull-friendly form factor makes it an ideal choice for serious anglers who demand both depth and temperature data without compromising vessel performance.

Ideal Use Scenarios

• Center-console anglers who fish in a range of depths and require quick, reliable bottom readings at speed.
• Trailering boats where a compact, non-intrusive transducer is essential for clearance and easy loading/unloading.
• Tournament boats that rely on fast, accurate depth and temperature data to locate and monitor fish more effectively.
• Rugged saltwater or freshwater applications where a durable, stainless-steel housing stands up to repeated exposure.

Installation & Compatibility

The SS164TH is designed for straightforward installation on a variety of hull materials. Its flush-mount approach minimizes protrusion and drag, while the stainless-steel housing provides durability in both salt and freshwater environments. It interfaces with 600 W or 1 kW echosounders, offering flexible integration with existing marine electronics. For best results, follow the included user manual to ensure correct mounting location, orientation, and cable routing. The goal is reliable readings with minimal impact on the boat’s performance and handling.

Care & Maintenance

After saltwater use, rinse with fresh water and inspect the mounting seal periodically. Check electrical connections for corrosion and ensure the transducer remains securely mounted. With its rugged construction and quality materials, the SS164TH is built for long-term reliability in demanding marine conditions.
