Hi all,
Just ordered a 1971F to replace my GP-1850DF/Airmar P66 combo I bought back in 2002. Now I need to decide which transducer to get and have so many questions. It's going into my Whaler so needs to be a transom mount. Seems the there are only 2 choice if I want a CHIRP transducer, a 300W or 1000W. Why isn't there a 600W model? Will the 300W Chirp (Airmar TM150) outperform my existing 600W (Airmar P66)?
I fish along the coast of the SF Bay area primarily looking for rockfish, salmon, and bait fish. Usually in less than 150 feet but occasionally get into about 250 feet down. On the Airmar P66, I usually leave it 200khz and that meets my need.
Thank you all.
