Hey Crew,

Cheers

What boat? What budget? Can you go thru hull?

 

You gonna need a Low frequency/band for 400m and want a High narrow cone for your shallower bottom fishing. As Gav said a TM260LH or B260LH if going with Furuno fixed fequency. If your going with a Garmin or Simrad and a Chirp system a TM265LH or B265LH.

For your mid water pelagics idealy you want a wide angle cone tranny like a TM 185HW or a B175HW. Depends how far you want to go anf how much of those 3 types of fishing your doing i guess as thats a bit of coin on transducers...
