Where were you when you took that photo on the post. Extreme water temp. You must of been well south of Greymouth as I seem to remember we were down to 12.c when we were chasing Bluefin a few years ago. Impressive quality photos ]]> Fri, 10 Jun 2016 17:56:14 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=117749&PID=1640994&title=garmin-electronics#1640994 <![CDATA[Garmin Electronics : Yea mate, if you can mark bottom...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=117749&PID=1640927&title=garmin-electronics#1640927 Author: Griffo

Yea mate, if you can mark bottom sign in 1400m then 500m is no problem. My point is that Simrad, Garmin, Furuno are all good these days and the Furuno fanboy club is stuck in the past.]]> Fri, 10 Jun 2016 10:15:14 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=117749&PID=1640927&title=garmin-electronics#1640927 <![CDATA[Garmin Electronics : Thanks for that Carl.

Thanks for that Carl. Never had an issue with the Fcv. Bloody good sounder but as I said work in progress. May need to think about the old saying, LOOK BEFORE YOU LEEP !!!

Long way to pull a fish up from 1400 mt but great pics. What sized tran running that one

You've got a bit of a weapon there with that FCV295 Crazy Horse. I wouldn't be in a huge hurry to go elsewhere, especially if you want to consistently mark bait and fish in the deep. All I'll say is make sure you can still see fish in the deep, I see lot of pics of the bottom with other brands but "show me the fish" I reckon.

If you want to go touch screen with Furuno, the guys you are referring in the first post could quite well have not have got the right gear....., putting DFF3 sounder unit in behind a TZ touch (1 or 2) with the right transducer installed will blow any other unit out of the water IMO

I've only got TZtouch2 with 1kw on my current boat as couldn't afford going more than 1kw at this stage but first trip out on the weekend i was marking bait and bluenose in 500m, had a faint read in 1000m, and that is without playing too much with the settings in the back of the unit. hopefully later in the year i will step up the sounder unit in the back and also the transducer

if you want to stay with analogue then fcv1150 would be another step up from the 295 and about as much of a weapon as you'll get

Great comments guys so now just have to make my mind up if I just go with the map option or go with fish finder as well.
Put a Furuno Fcv 295 in a couple of years ago and it is great. 2 kw tran. Have good depth picture to 800. But just may sell it and the Raymarine E120 and go with the complete Garmin package. Work in progress
