Airmar Transducer wanted

[Rayvon]

By any chance does anyone have an extra 600W or 1Kw Airmar either thru-hull or in hull transducer they would sell? I'd like to try something other than the P66 transom mount that I have for my Simrad NSS7 evo2. Nmea 2000 compatible and chirp would be ideal.I'm on the island.

I have one of these. Airmar B744V Housing Style Transducer. Brand new in original but opened box. Would take $125 for it.

think you need to play more with the settings to get the best results out of the p66
i have to be honest found chirp a little disappointing.
and feel the TM p66 sometimes gives me a safer feeling as the thru hull 175's H & L
i have can go off in there own world .....

pic was snapped fishing around hutt i think and shows the p66 at 140' and the H chirp way off at 290'

I haven't been impressed by chirp so far either.I decided to go to Nanaimo harbour chandlers black friday sale because I needed to pick up a new VHF and antenna that I had ordered.Couldn't resist picking up a structure scan transducer reg. $299 for $99 and a sonic hub reg.$399 for $129 and a Trophy reel for $199,great deals to be had.I wouldn't have bought the structure scan without this price but I couldn't resist,we'll see if I use it much.

For some reason I always thought that chirp and structure scan is the same, is it not?

 

[Rayvon]

Not the same,chirp sends multiple echoes compared to non-chirp to supposedly give you better sonar reception with better separation of targets (bait,fish). Structure scan gives you a picture in 2 or 3D of the bottom under and to the sides of your boat. Two totally different transducers required. Simple explanation because I'm no tech expert to say the least.
