New FF

[Fishstix]

After about 20 yrs of dependable service Im retireing my Furuno depthfinder . Its a fcv667 color  . Its never failed me. Its like a little TV you have to let it warm up . Still works great.

Last year I bought a Garmin 50dv as a primary chartplotter . It also has a fishfinder .. I run the Furuno and Garmin side by side.200khz on one 77khz on the other.

 

After I got the little garmin dialed in it shows me the same stuff the Furuno does except for the thermalcline. I dont really care about the thermalcline I catch more fish out of temp than  where they are supposed to be.

 

 

So I bought a Garmin 73dv. To replace the Furuno. Bigger  ,brighter, screen My eyes are failing .A new Furuno is just to dam expensive.I have not removed the Furuno yet and I hope to have the garmin up and running this weekend. Ill post how it works out.

 

If it works OK Ill remove the Furuno and pass it on to some young guy starting out.

I am with you ....My Furuno 620c is still going strong, but a bit aged.......Might change out as well this season. See how it goes.
