Furuno 587/ TM260 setting?
Submitted by oz74 on Tue, 2013-09-24 18:55
Hi all,
In the process of setting up a Furuno 587 sounder with an Airmar TM260 1kW transducer and looking for any info on what transducer to choose from the sounder menu?
I have read some info on the net that the "B260" setting is the right one to choose but this isn't an option in the menu!?
There is one that just says "1kW" without any other info/ models etc.
Is it as simple as just choosing that one? I have noticed that there are a few others out there with the 587's so hopefully someone know the answer.
Cheers
Brett

I think the setting is
I think the setting is 526TID-HDD......you can just use the plain vanilla 1kW generic setting and this gives me exactly the same performance, but I think you loose Accufish and Bottom Discrimination with this setting, both of which I dont use and I consider a bit of a gimmick.
Boston Whaler 235 Conquest......getting the flogging it was built for.
