Furuno 1871F match with TM265LH

[DenisBajic84]

Will a Airmar TM265LH transducer work with Furuno1871F ?

 

[Johnny Electron]

No. That is a dual freq CHIRP and the sounder is Single Freq CHRIP unit. The TM265LH is designed more for the TZT3 internal sounder or the DFF1-UHD.

only reason why I asked is because I came across a old stock previous generation doesn’t have any pin connectors only cables Still in box brand new on eBay for a real good deal. Thought why not have one next to my tm185M

If you scroll down on the product page for the GP1871F you will see a list of compatible transducers. Ill link the page below for you so you have it for future reference

I know but none of them will read in 3000 feet.

Would I be able to connect the DFF1-UHD. To the 1871 and then use the TM265 ?

 

[Sparky Wire]

While you could wire only one of the freqs to a pigtail (HF or LF) and try to use it; there is no software setting that would properly give the right power and freq sweep to properly support it. The B265LH will be a deal for someone with the TZT3 (12, 16,19, or BB) or someone with DFF1-UHD. It just isn't the right fit for the GP1871F/GP1971F.

 

[DenisBajic84]

I see. What about a TZT3. 9”screen ?

 

[Johnny Electron]

The TZT9 is just like the GP1871F/GP1971F as a single freq CHIRP unit. If using the TZT3 it would be need to the one of the models that Sparky listed above. (12,16,19, BB)

 

[DenisBajic84]

Ok. That being said will the TZT3 accept a single frequency chirp transducer. If I decided to run one later down the road.

The TZT3 selectable transducer list is posted on the website under the products. TZT3 does support select single freq transducers or dual freq. Here is a direct link to the list.
