I just installed a TZT12F, it replaced a navnet vx2. I also replaced the inop autopilot with a new furuno 300. So far everything is great, although with the weather I haven’t been offshore fishing with it yet.
I used the existing transponder, a b744 that was glassed in at the factory. I see that it works for the accu fish and bottom discrimination.
But since I now have more options with the newer unit I’m wondering what a different transponder would do for me?
I’m fairly new to saltwater fishing, so far I’ve been concentrating on bottom fishing in the gulf. So far in 70’-120’ of water.
My understanding is I’m somewhat limited in what transducer I can install as I have a older intrepid with a stepped hull. There is not much room for the larger thru hull transponders, I was told that a 75H would fit, or one that size. Or possibly a thru hull.
So would a 75H give me anything over my current transducer? Can I use a y cable and have both? Would a thru hull work ok for the depths I’m fishing?
