FF/Transducer advice
« on: February 03, 2017, 07:08:21 AM »
looking to get a new FF, will keep my current elite 5 for navigation. keep flipping between Simrad go 7 and Furuno fcv588. Simrad has chirp and Furuno resboost. At the end of the day Furuno/transducer and Simrad w/chirp transducer almost are same price (thru hull). I do basically inshore, under 125' of salt water. boat is 175' aquasport. looking for experiences/Recommendations with each.

This will be my first thru hull transducer install, it hurts to drill a hole in my boat. Any words of advice or experience with installation on a 96 175 greatly appreciated.

Not sure about drilling a hole, but here's some light reading.
