Furuno GP1971 Settings Help

[el.Pereh]

This was installed this year with a new transom mounted transducer. I have yet to be able to get it to show me boomerangs and I've had fishing that should indicate their are many chins below me. Does anyone have this and care to share the proper settings? Fishing in the straight so mostly deep until its time for sandheads

Set it up for manual sensitivity

Try running different frequencies.

Try selecting different noise reduction presets.

Should work great. But may have to play with these settings

Hey Pereh,

What transducer do you have? I also recently installed a furuno 1971 and experiencing similar results as you. I went with the 1 kw transom mount airmar. The furuno manual is less than helpful with the setup of the sonar.

It's almost impossible to get a stern mount to ping all the time at planing speeds. There's always cavitation at some level. Thru hulls shine all the time

You should be able to set it up so it's accurate at low and trolling speeds for sure

I’ve found the “speed” that the screen moves over bottom to be slow

Does this make sense to you?

Ping speed is adjustable

Ping speed is adjustable

Got that one sorted today.

Does anyone have this unit and have it dialed showing arcs?
