TZT2 Transducer Question

[haneyrm]

I need a new transducer to replace my current B117. The Furuno 520-BLD looks like the correct replacement but I do not see where it says it includes temperature.

Can anybody confirm that the current version of this transducer includes temperature?

Thanks.

It does not contain temperature.
The 520T-BLD does.

If you want to take advantage of RezBoost or bottom discrimination you might look into the 525T-BSD or any other transducers listed for these functions.

Does Furuno offer a B117 direct replacement that allows for the use of Rezboost? Seems like it shouldn't be a problem since the B60 (525T-LTD/12) is supported and I believe the B60 and B117 have the same internals other than tilted element. Is this not correct? I don't really need bottom discrimination but would like to use Rezboost if possible.

Thanks.

You are correct that the B60 and B117 have the same elements. Our 525T-LTD/12 will enable Rezboost.

Thanks. I'm ordering a 525T-LTD/12 this afternoon.
