OK, my main question is.....what thru-hull would work best with this on a semi-displacement downeast hull (26 Fortier)...... Recommendations? FURUNO FCV585 COLOR FISHFINDER 8.4"LCD DISPLAY  Details The New Furuno FCV585 is a high performance, dual-frequency digital fish finder with a high transmission output power of 600 Watts or 1 kW.

| This is the one we used with our FCV600L on the last boat. FURUNO 525ST-MSD BRZ TH W/ HSFB F/ 6000-600L-582L-16&1850-6100 Was very pleased with it's performance. Not familiar with others except the 525 transom mount, which we have now. It's okay but not as good as the 525st msd.

| Formie- What's up?...... I installed the 585 last year in the Maggie B and I went with the following Xducer... Bronze Broadband Thru-Hull Transducer with Temp, Built-in Diplexer and Hi-Speed Fairing Block, 1kW (10-Pin), P/N 526-HDD. As indicated in the description, it's a 1kW ducer and I'm VERY happy with it. Good luck!

 F-in thing is ENORMOUS lolol.....but 1KW is the way to go if the machine is capable (even tho the 585 can be run in 600W mode also). Having a custom teak box made for the unit for on the dash, to match the ACR spotlight control box (console is FULL already LOL).
