295 transducers
Submitted by Mattyb84 on Tue, 2016-05-24 07:03
I now this has been a topic for a while now but I would like to no what transducers other are running in small boats on there 295 other than the r399/299 as they are getting hard to get hold of these days though would be my first option. Was thinking 38 3 kW but not sure which one is better in a 6 m boat and has to be able to shoot though the hull. Other option is the 82b but don't no if the 2 kW be powerful enough to hit 500+ at trolling speeds any info will be much appreciated as I don't want to spend the $ and not be able to look for ground while chasing billfish otherwise I'd just stick with my 585 cheers

Come out on my boat Matt, I have the 3kw 38 and 2kW 200. You can see what it can do.
Also I would talk to Tim Carson, he has done heaps of research and testing of transducers on boats of your size.
