Navman 4500
Submitted by Bodie on Mon, 2009-05-18 11:29
Just curious if anyone knows if you can fit a bigger transducer to this unit? Or does anyone have a bigger transducer on this unit?
Currently got a 600 on it but unsure if it can handle a 1kw?
Would it be worth it? or would a better option be to upgrade to sometime like a Furuno 585 with a 1kw transducer?
Cheers Fellas

the 585 is a good unit
no experience with navman myself.
I have just installed the humminbird side imaging 798
but my second choice was a 620
but I have been on boats with the 585 and it is a very good unit

yeah Ive seen the 585's
yeah Ive seen the 585's aswell, nice units, but wondering weather i spend the cash now on a new unit, or put a new transducer on for now and see how i go.
I could save the pennys for the Furuno 295... but that would require the missus permission on that one!
Would transducers be 'movable' to different sounders?

ok, apparently you cant run
ok, apparently you cant run a 1kw transducer with this sounder, as the output of the cunit is 600w.
