not worth spending the $ on
not worth spending the $ on the 1kw if only fishing in that depth. i had the 600 and it worked in the 200mtrs. dont waste your money

If you only fish 20-30m only
If you only fish 20-30m only just stick with the 600w. With the old navman 5600 and a 600w tranny in the old boat, I could get a super solid picture in 30m at 34knots!

money
if money is no issue then get the one kilo watt i beleive imo i have had both transducers and the one kilowatt gives more defined bottom readings than the 600 watt! i have a 585 which i started with the 600 watt and went to a 1kw and i would never go back! doesnt matter what depth the reading is crisper and clearer!! imo go the 1kw!
ALL FISHERMEN ARE LIARS EXCEPT YOU AND ME! AND IM NOT SO SURE ABOUT YOU!

Go the 1kw that way your
Go the 1kw that way your covered if you head to a new fishing spot. Say like Portland for SBT or up the NSW northern coast chasing billfish. Do it right the first time.
