Furuno Transducer
Submitted by Troyboy on Sat, 2016-06-18 21:00
Hi all,
I'm putting a new sounder in the boat, It has a Lowrance elite 5 which will now be the plotter. I've decided to go with the Furuno fcv628.
It's a small tub (4.3m) and I usually fish 10-50 meters, rarely any deeper, just after some advice on transducer options?
I've looked at the Airmar p66 T/M Biducer, any other suggestions?
Also who should I see in Perth for a good deal the unit and transducer? I could go online but would rather keep the money in local buisness.
Cheers for any input!

The P66 is good, and being cheap its not a disaster if it gets knocked around a bit.

P66 is just fine mate,
P66 is just fine mate, fishing out in 60m-70m the other night and saw the fish no dramas.

Agree
You can see bottom, but can you see fish? That's the real question. Furuno 628 and a p66 is an exellent fishfinder I had the 620 and a p66 for many years but to see more than the bottom @ 200m you need to step it up to 1kw.
