Will FCV800 work with SS164 transducer?

[Josh genesis580]

Hi all, I’ve purchased a FCV800 and GP1971F, when purchased the dealer said the FCV Will work with the SS164 that is already in my hull.

Reading the manual now it doesn’t list it as a compatible transducer… will it still connect and work or am I looking like I need to change transducers?

Although it is not one of the listed transducers, the SS164 can be used/will work on the FCV800 if you set the transducer selection to "1kW".

Josh genesis580,

The SS165 is very good stainless steel transducer, and will provide you with some decent depth performance. Here are that transducer's specifications:

• 1kW of power
• Fast-response water-temperature sensing
• Dual-frequency elements:
  • 50 kHz with a wide 22° beamwidth for depth performance down to 1800' ft (529 m)
  • 200 kHz with a 6° beamwidth for depth performance down to 800" ft (235 m)
• Can be Interfaced to any 600 W or 1 kW Furuno fish finder
