Question the transducer https://www.imarineusa.com/AirmarSS60-20-10F.aspx is the same model of the furuno SS60-SLTD/20 or is the furuno SS60-SLD/20?

I want to have the feature Bottom Discrimination Transducers on the tztouch2

 

[Johnny Electron]

Yes that would be the same as the SS60-SLTD/20

Thanks, Johnny Electron
Another question, What is the difference Between the furuno transducer 526TID-LTD/20 and the Airmair B164-20-10F? My question come because, it is big difference on price.

 

[Johnny Electron]

The one has a cable with an extra adapter and is made for a company called Gemeco and the other (526TID-LTD/20) is the OEM unit made for Furuno, by Airmar.

The transducer 526TID-LTD is compatible with the TZ touch 2?

 

[Johnny Electron]

YES, you will find a full list of suggested transducers on the product page under accessories. This one is listed. I personally am not a big fan of the B164 but sometimes it is the best option for some boat installations. The install steps need to be followed closely.

What are the disadvantages of the B164 and which transducer of the 1kw thru-hull do you recommend? My instrument is tztouch2.

My favorite 50/200 transducer has been the B260 for a long time. It makes a good match for the TZT2 sounder but not all boats can accommodate it.
