I recently purchased a used boat with a FCV-582L with a toasted screen. I am looking to upgrade to a GP-1971F. I can't identify the transducer that is already in my boat. It is a bronze stem, thru-hull with the high speed fairing block. The white part number tag has long since disappeared from the chord. I think I have narrowed it down to either a 526T-HDD (B260) or a 520T-HPD (B256) from the Airmar cross reference chart for transducers that will work with a 582L machine. I would really like to use the existing transducer.
The Furuno info says the 1971F can use a 526T"ID"-HDD. Is there any difference in the 526T"ID"-HDD and the 526T-HDD (besides a couple extra letters)?
IS there any other way to identify the transducer? Will either model (520T-HPD or 526T-HDD) work even though they are not specifically listed by Furuno?
The boat is a 2004 and the transducer looks like it has been in there since new or close to it.
Thanks in advance for your help. I love the forum and I have already learned a lot from it.
