What setup are you running

Fri, 2013-08-02 21:53

What setup are you running with the furuno mate? shoot thru or transom mount & what kw

Harro off here helped me set up mine & this is what settings I usually run

pic advance between 1/1 or 2/1 on speed travelling & the zoom mode is put on bottom lock

shift usually set around 5 to 10 depending on demersals or seriolas

interference on auto

color erase around 10% & clutter set at zero also white line

tvg on medium unless out deep

tx power 100 % (this makes a shitload of difference & will drop the gain being so high) with tranny rate at 10

 

Furuno are also sponsors here so you can drop them a line to assist, whilst I say that some peanut from here will also accuse me of plugging site sponsors who help keep this site running but I think everyone knows what I make of that pocket boxer

Good luck, drop me or Harro a PM if ya need

 It's a transom mount 1 kw it's just hard to  determine what fish look like I've caught dhuys in 30 meters of water and the sounder didn't show any thing not even a speck? cheers daniel
