Do to life and other priorities I've not had the Parker 2530 out of the garage and in the water since September 2021. The Furuno equipment is in my sig.
I understand that V6 is as far as I can go with software upgrades. I think the TZ is on 6.02 and the TZT12 is on 6.26. My question is if everything powers on and seems to be working fine if I need to do anything in preparation for getting back on the water.
If I wanted to modernize a bit I could replace the TZT9 which is mounted in the dash with a TZT9F which should allow me to upgrade the TZTL12F to the latest software. But will all my other Furuno equipment still be functional? And most importantly, is the TZT9F a direct bolt in replacement for a TZT9? And if so, which mounting method since there appears to be three dash mount options.
I also have a transom mounted 260 and would like to know which of the CHIRP transducers would be an exact swap out with this size transducer body? Should I even consider CHIRP?
Thanks in advance.
