The High-Wide (HW) CHIRP frequency variant of the B175 family is built for detailed, wide-bandwidth sonar performance at high frequency, giving anglers sharp fish and structure definition in the moderate depths this deadrise angle typically corresponds to — appropriate for boats that fish a mix of inshore and nearshore water rather than dedicated shallow flats or deep offshore work. As with every tilted-element transducer in this family, the ceramic sensing element is fixed at the specified 12-degree angle inside the bronze housing, correcting for the hull's deadrise so the element still points straight down once installed, and the 8-pin connector confirms compatibility with a specific generation of Garmin sonar hardware. Garmin sells the B175 family under its own accessory branding for guaranteed plug-and-play compatibility with its GPSMAP and ECHOMAP chartplotters, avoiding the need for an installer to source or wire a separate adapter cable.
