GP1971 Transducer selection

[cgreenamti]

Looking for suggestions. Most of my fishing trips are for reef fish in less than 150ft of water. I have an FCV585 with an Airmar thru hull transducer. I recently added 2 GP1971 displays, one for radar and sonar, the other for GPS/radar. Can someone provide suggestions for the best thru hull transducer CHIRP vs CW? My hull has a 20 deg. deadrise at the transom.

cgreenamti,

Here are two transducers that you should consider using for your GP1971F, especially if you are reef fishing in shallow waters:

The B175HW/20 which is 1kW Single CHIRP High-Frequency (150-250 kHz), Wide-Beam Transducer with Temperature - Bronze Thru-Hull with 20° Tilt Element

The other transducer is the 525T-LTD/20 that is 600 Watt, 50/200 kHz CW Transducer with Temperature - Bronze Thru-Hull with 20° Tilt Element. This Transducer also features Furuno's Bottom Discrimination capability.
