 Hahah, it's a sad day when someone uploads a picture of speakers. Hard to see on iPhone but look a lot like trannies, what unit are you running John?

Well there you have it.

Well there you have it. Thought it could be when you mentioned the hole saw. Those in hull trannies look a fair bit different to my 1kw brick hanging off my ali. Works a freaking treat though.

Unfortunately the 295 would not fit in the dash, and the new 587 screen is a fair bit brighter than the 295.

No doubt the 295 a lot better sounder, and the separate gain for 200 and 50 is a great feature. Will give the 587 a derby and upgrade if and when something sticks out as much better.

Why is the 50Khz 25 degree and the 200 6 degrees

Im guessing thats the beam

Im guessing thats the beam cone rather than the offset angle?

Is there a flat area in the bottom of the hull for these John?

Unfortunately unless they have a external diplexer I don't think they won't work on a 295. Just bought a 587 myself partially for that reason secondly budget, have the SS264N tranny in 200k and wrapped with the result with our previous 582L.  Trying to work out how I can get a matching 50k fitted to our Cruisecraft without too much hassle but its not looking easy. The good thing about these is you don't need a flat section in the hull as the elements are tilted to suit the deadrise Rob just need clean water in front.

Hahahaha . . . I reckon you will sweat buckets of blood when you stick that hole saw into that nice new Whaler ! Seriously though you will not be disappointed when you fire these babies up. Looking forward to a report and some images on their performance when hooked up to the new Furuno !
