Furuno FCV 668

Anyone have experience with these units? Currently have one of these in a boat i just got, it has a thru hull transdcuer (not sure which one).. Didnt get a good chance to play aroudn with it on the water but does look like it might be alright even if it is a bit old? I would be pairing it up with a HDS combo, going to try to run the 2 trasnducers so i get "back track". Or should i just bite the bullet and get a FCV 627? WOuld a new furuno plug into the older thru hull transducer?

 

cheers

I have a older Furuno FCV-581 on my boat(still works great) but still decided to have a sticky beak last year at a newer 585 and looking at the back of it, it looked like all my old wires connectors(power, trasnducer, GPS link cable) would plug straight in. Mind you i am running an external transducer an Airmar P66.
