P66 Transducer Performance
Submitted by trueblue_10 on Sun, 2014-10-26 19:07
Interested in any actual experiences with the P66 transducer fitted off the Furuno sounder especially for use deeper water i.e. 100 to 150 metres of water. Is the P66 still effective at picking up fish at these depths?
Likewise what's the TM260 like in shallower water 10 to 50metres does it lose (or gain) much over the P66 transducer. I am buying a Furuno FCV587 and heard you set in Dual frequency mode to be effective in shallower water??
Still weighing up the pros and cons of the transducer type (Real world performance- not manufacturer). It will have to be transom mount (on my 6M Ali Quintrex).

I have the P66 on a 620,
I have the P66 on a 620, works fine out to 120 meters or so.

The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

yep
Would always hold bottom really well on the way out to the fads and a bit beyond, even at speed. Whilst drifting in 240+m would see fish easily on the bottom. Could see pinkys and sambos sitting around the derwent.
