Furuno or Lowrance, What to buy
Submitted by Justin Poole on Mon, 2008-09-29 21:02
HI
I am in dire need of a 1kw sounder for fishing deep the furuno 585 or lowrance LCX 27 that is where i am at, both have a bit of sex apeal.
a 585 furuno is the first option although for similar dollars the LCX 27 or 37 comes with a plotter and my nave man ploter does not hace the same coverage using C map as the navionics card.
what should i do?
I want to try out deep so need the power.

Have used the 37c with the broadband a few times and rate it highly , once you get used the fish arc's displayed with the broadband its a very clean image . With the furuno is gives more of an indication of a color blob towards fish , the lowrance is easier to use with its drop down menu's but personally overall you can get a lot fier detail with the 585 possibly to much

My brother mentioned being on someone's boat that had lowrance gear, but it was hooked up to a regular boat-mounted LCD monitor? That sounds like a great way to get a big screen?

Furuno 585 with 1kw transom mount transducer would be my pick!

All boats business 93094200 have them on sale out of LCX 27 or 37 go the 37 better picture

get one of each
and run them side by side.
that way you get 2 kick ass sounders and you dont have to choose.
brilliant.
