High Frequency FCV 1100
Submitted by DBZ on Fri, 2016-09-09 12:17
Has anyone tried sounding out deep 2-300m on an FCV 1100 or 1150 on high frequency?
Ive got a unit and the low freq is cooked (Taylors have had a look at it for me) and just wondering if i'll get much from it out wide? Most of my fishing is done in 20 - 60 anyway but interested if anyone has pics or experience on this.
Cheers

transducer
Please let us know the power of your transducer, for a 1 kw you will be ok to your operating depth, with a 600 watt this would be approaching your depth limit, but should function.

I've got a TM260 1kW
I've got a TM260 1kW transducer with a Garmin 750s and the 200kHz high frequency stops working at about 180 meters.
You might do a bit better with a furuno head unit or a bigger transducer, but I think about 200 meters is the best you could expect from a 1kW.
Any deeper than that and you need the low frequency 50kHz mode.

I had 2kw 200 worked for
I had 2kw 200 worked for 150m then went to shit! Works well for shallows at good speed, Threw it out replaced with 88! Now only switch to 38 after 300. Run on 1150

My 1 kW B265 High channel
My 1 kW B265 High channel (160-210 kHz) holds bottom pretty well down to 450m. Surprised me.
