Hey Guys. I'm new here. My name is Jared and I'm based way down in New Zealand.
I have built a trailerable 9m (30ft) sport fisher out of a blackwatch 26. The current electronics package are a tzt19 with a 275LHW and a 295 with a 38BL-15HR and 200b-8b.
The 295 transducers were mounted in hull in wetboxes shooting through the fiberglass hull. They were not performing well at all. So I pulled the lot out and sent to our Furuno Agent here in NZ for testing. All tested OK.
So my predicament is. Do I go ahead and reinstall the 295 and pocket mount the transducers thruhull OR would I get a lot better performance putting the 275lhw to the 295 and purchasing a dff3uhd and a R509 to run through the tzt. Obviously a lot of cost difference going the r509 route. Will it be worth it?
Our sword fishing is normally around 500-600 meters (roughly 1500-2000ft)
