Discover the power of advanced sonar imaging on your boat with the Furuno TM185HW, a high-frequency wide-beam CHIRP transducer designed for anglers who demand crystal-clear underwater views. Mounted easily on your transom, this urethane-housed unit with a stainless steel bracket delivers exceptional performance in shallow to mid-depth waters, making it a favorite for inshore fishing enthusiasts chasing bass, redfish, or walleye.
Unlike traditional fixed-frequency transducers that can miss subtle details, the TM185HW's CHIRP technology sweeps across 150-250 kHz, painting a vivid picture of fish arches, structure, and bottom composition. Paired with its integrated temperature sensor, you'll gain valuable insights into water conditions that influence fish behavior, helping you make smarter decisions on the water.
Boat owners rave about how this transducer transforms their fish finder displays, turning fuzzy images into sharp, actionable intel that hooks more fish.
CHIRP isn't just buzzword—it's a game-changer. Instead of a single pulse, it emits a continuous range of frequencies, compressing more data into every ping. The result? Fish show as distinct arches rather than blobs, and bottom hardness varies in shades of gray for easier structure identification.
With the TM185HW's wide beam, you cover more water per pass—perfect for trolling or drifting over flats. In real-world use, anglers report seeing bait balls at 100 feet that single-frequency units overlook, plus clearer separation between closely packed fish.
Setting up the TM185HW is straightforward for DIYers. Position the bracket 1/3 from the transom's edge, drill pilot holes, and secure with included hardware. Run the cable through a hull gland to keep things tidy and watertight.
Pro Tips:
Most installs take under an hour, and the stainless bracket holds firm against vibration and waves.
Compared to medium or low-frequency options, the high-wide design excels where speed and coverage matter most. It's like upgrading from a flashlight to a spotlight—same power, but illuminating a wider path. Fish that hug the bottom or school horizontally pop on screen, giving you the edge in competitive tournaments or family outings.
CHIRP sweeps a range of frequencies (150-250 kHz), delivering better fish separation, bottom detail, and noise rejection than fixed-frequency sonar.
It features a wide 25-degree beam at 200 kHz, providing excellent coverage for shallow-water fishing without losing too much focus.
Yes, the urethane housing and stainless bracket are built tough for saltwater exposure, resisting corrosion and handling rough conditions.
It reliably images up to several hundred feet, optimized for inshore depths where high-frequency performance shines brightest.
Absolutely—the fast-response sensor delivers precise surface water temps, crucial for finding baitfish concentrations and predator zones.
Yes, with the transom bracket and clear positioning guidelines, most boat owners complete it without professional help.
It's perfect for bass boats, bay vessels, and smaller offshore rigs needing wide coverage in mid-shallow waters.
