I have a Tzt12F in my boat with a Airmar B275HLW transducer. when I bought the boat 2 years ago, the wires from the transducer to display had been cut (or maybe it came this way). the splice wasn't done too well so I bought the Airmar 12 pin slice kit and put it together.
I always assumed the temp was accurate but recently I've started questioning it because the water temps don't match my satellite maps. I bought a pool thermometer to compare the two devices. I put in the pool thermometer in the water at the harbor and both matched. on my last fish trip I didn't like the reading on the display so I put the thermometer in my 140 gallon bait tank. this time, the display read about 3 degrees low (as I've seen recently).
I understand this is not a scientific test. I plan to look at the wiring, especially the two white wires to see if anything is loose. Any thoughts on how to confirm the accuracy of the B275hlw to furuno unit is or isn't correct? thanks
