A fish finder that will work with current transducer

[David McDaniel]

I have a Raytheon Bottom Finder, large grey box style, probably 25 years old. What new fish/bottom finders would work with my current thru hull transducer? This is on a 31' Pursuit Tiara, with 2 350 Merc. Inboards. Saltwater fishing.

Transducers are not specific to a manufacturer or head unit. Need to know what transducer is currently in use to make a recommendation.

Keep in mind that transducers have a limited life expectancy. If your transducer is the same vintage as the sounder, it is long over due for replacement. I would recommend you replace the transducer as well.

For sounder, I would recommend a Furuno FCV 587 for conventional sonar. A step up would be the Simrad BSM-2 and the Garmin GSD-26 black box CHIRP sounders
