chainsaw Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Ready to purchase a Furuno FCV585 for the boat. Which tranducer? Is there a problem of using a 1Kw in shallower water? Or is it just a waste of money getting the bigger unit? Being used in Nth Qld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunOFun Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 What sort of fishing will you be doing? Offshore work (deep water) inshore (to 150m) or bay estuary stuff? I have a Lawrance with 200/50 transducer which picks up easily to 200m at trolling speed, much deeper when drifting or at rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainsaw Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 Hi TunOFun, boat is capable of getting out to deeper water but most of the time would be inshallow water. The thing is, does a overpowered transducer create viewing problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunOFun Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Yeah not sure about viewing problems as i dont have the 1kw transducer. I know Offtap1 has a 1kw transducer (think its a Furuno too), might be worthwhile asking him how his performs in shallow water. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
