FCV 587

Hello,

I've been a FCV 587 owner since 2014 and absolutely love the unit. I've had it hooked up to an Airmar B117 through hull transducer and am wanting to upgrade the transducer. I primarily fish in 50 to 300 foot.

Two questions-

1) what is the best transducer 600 or 1kw for finding small ledges and pothole bottom in that depth?

2) is there a way to hook up the FCV 587 to my Simrad EVO 2 Chartplotter so I can mark a piece of bottom on the 587 and it make a GPS mark on the Simrad EVO 2?

Thanks in advance!
 
edans1,
All the 600 watt transducers basically have the same beam width. If you want a smaller foot print I would look at the 1kw 525TID-BHD transducer. As far as interfacing with your EVO-2 do you know if it will accept a TLL sentence?

Snips
