New sounder

Chasing some advice on what people's thoughts are on the furuno 588?

I know everyone raves on about the 587 but is the 588 worth the money with the 1kw or are there better performing and better value units now

Ill mainly be fishing the 40s but also chasing sambos in the 100s

Thanks

i have a 588 whichi s paird with a TM260 1kw transon mount transducer.. i think its great...

that said depending on your budget you can look at the simrad  with a thru hull transducer..

but for what you do the furuno is good enough
