Transducer on chivers sports fisherman
Submitted by Fresh herbs on Sat, 2022-01-29 20:42
Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone has installed a airmar P66 transducer. I've just bought a 588 furuno and installed the transducer as per instructions and I can only get ground up to about 10knts. Anyone had any joy with their install and can get a good reading? Tips please. Cheers herbs
