Transducer Help

[ScottM]

Capt. Chuck,
Just my two cents, but go with a new color LCD unit. My father has a CVS102 color CRT, and while it works great, it's old, and very big and bulky. You need a lot of space for these units. I went with the Furuno LS6100 monochrome for my Seabird, but I would have gone with the color FCV600L if I had the extra $. I think you'd be much happier with a new color sounder with the 50/200 'ducer.

Thanks and I think your right on target [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Besides costs, how about that 582L ? I like the 600 watts and a little bigger screen feature as I do the deep drop deal for Tilefish and Yelloweye on occasions (650'- 800'). I'm just starting to look at the FURUNOS. It appears that the new LCD's produce a picture of equal quality as my old CVS106 CRT and as you mentioned a lot less space?

Very nice machine .... does well in sunlight also. A lot of the "canyon" boats around here use them ..but I'll admit to being biased towards Furuno FF's and Radar [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img].. there are a whole lot of other machines out there too...

The 582L is excellent machine, I use it for finding ridges and caynons swordfishing in deeper water. Very dependable!
