Getting ready to replace the last of my non-Furuno gear and need some advice. I have today 2 TZT14 with a DFF3 and an R309 transducer. It is great with deep drop and bottom fishing which for me is between 200 and 400 meters. I also have a Raymarine CP450 chirp with a B265LH which I am ready to replace with a DFF1-UHD but I am concerned that for my blue fin tuna fishing, drifting or anchored, the narrow cone angle is just not the best. I went out a couple of weeks ago in a friends boat with an FCV-627 and B60 and we were marking tuna beautifully which is something I have never been able to do with either the chirp or the DFF3. As we are only concerned about the top 30-60m, 600 watts is no problem but the 45º angle is just perfect to see them coming and fine tune our baits. I have just seen magazine ads from Airmar announcing chirp transducers with 40º cone, called ultra wide, but cannot see anything in their website. Are you aware of any new thru hull with this cone angle? Will they work with the DFF1-UHD?
My other option is either a DFF1 or a TZT2 (can always use another screen) with a B60/B744. What would you suggest.
Thanks in advance for your help.
