Overview

The Simrad 000-13780-001 is a stainless steel thru-hull CHIRP transducer (SS175H-W/0) with a 0° tilted element and a 9-pin XSONIC connector.

It runs a high-wide CHIRP band from 150 to 250 kHz with a constant 25° beam, and it is rated at 1 kW for strong returns. It supports depth and water-temperature sensing, with depth capability up to 152 m (500 ft) in good conditions.

The low-profile housing sits close to the hull to help keep readings stable when the boat is moving. The 0° tilt version is intended for hull sections around 0 to 7° of deadrise so the element points straight down once installed.

Key features

• 1 kW high-wide CHIRP operation from 150 to 250 kHz with a constant 25° beam
• 0° tilted element for hull deadrise angles around 0 to 7°
• Depth and water-temperature sensing from a single thru-hull install
• Stainless steel thru-hull, low-profile housing suited for harsh bilge and bottom environments
• 9-pin XSONIC connection with a 10 m (33 ft) cable for flexible routing to the helm
• Overall size listed as 134 mm diameter by 118 mm height, with a 2.7 kg (6 lb) transducer weight

Compatibility and fit

This is a single-channel transducer meant for systems that accept a 1 kW CHIRP transducer in the 150 to 250 kHz range. Confirm your display or sounder module has a 9-pin XSONIC transducer port, or plan for the correct adapter cable for your unit.

Installation and setup

Thru-hull installs need a clean-water location with inside-hull access for the retaining nut, bedding, and cable routing. The required hole size is 95 mm (3-3/4 in) for fiberglass or wood hulls, and 105 mm (4-1/8 in) for metal hulls.

Because the element is fixed at 0°, placement matters. Choose a section of hull that matches the 0 to 7° deadrise range and stays clear of strakes, steps, intakes, and other sources of aerated water.

Use on board

The constant wide beam is a practical fit for inshore and nearshore fishing where you want more coverage under the boat while still keeping detail on bottom and fish targets. It is also useful when drifting over structure, working bait schools, or tracking marks without needing to be directly over them.

Maintenance and care

Keep the face clean and smooth for consistent performance. If you apply bottom protection, use coatings intended for transducers and avoid thick, hard paints on the acoustic window. Periodically check the bedding seal and inspect the cable where it passes through bulkheads for chafe.
