@@FurunoMarineElectronics I would like to know how much it would be the cost of this system.

[@FurunoMarineElectronics]

@@persian0071 you will want to talk to your local Furuno distributor for pricing in your area. Here is the product page here in the US that includes our MSRP pricing www.furunousa.com/en/products/dff3d.

Amazing system. Just wondering what transducer you were using?

[@FurunoMarineElectronics]

Hi Brian, this is utilizing the 165T-B54 DFF3D Transducer.

[@KJ-md5hv]

@@FurunoMarineElectronics Does the b54 transducer show the traditional 2D (top left in quad chart) or do you need to be running the 265lw in addition to the b54 transducer?

@@KJ-md5hv Hi KJ, Yes, the DFF3D Multi-Beam sonar does have a traditional single down sounder 2D image mode that shows the entire 120 degree swath under the vessel. It also has a 2D "Triple Beam" down sounder mode that breaks the same type of image up into 40 degree Port/Center/Starboard sections which is very very useful for targeting fish and structure. At the 3 minute mark in this video, the top left is showing the 50/200 Khz from a B275 which is similar to the 265 transducer that you mention. The bottom left is the DFF3D "Triple Beam" and the two right images are 3D History and 2D Cross setion modes. With both TZT2 and TZT3 MFDs, it is possible to show data from the built-in Fish Finder and the DFF3D Multi-Beam at the same time. That is how I had the system configured.

How much performance increase will I see if I add the SCX20 compass?

super bro, amazing

Can you scan lake and river floor with it in 3d to file and save it with location info?

[@FurunoMarineElectronics]

Absolutely! Use the new PBG (Personal Bathymeteric Generator) feature found in the Version 2.01 software on TZtouch3, along with the DFF3D and you will be able to create a PBG file that is geo-refrerenced. Check out this video on PBG: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJvVp5d4p66MmNk

@@FurunoMarineElectronics looks very ok for general use and fishing etc. but i need like 10x res (500 beams instead of 50 and 10x increased probing ammount for higher resolution) for relic mapping and search. Thanks for your reply tho, you have very nice product range!

[@Vean440]

I need an S3 it seems!

[@FurunoMarineElectronics]

@@Vean440 Yes, it appears you are looking more for a WASSP system. You can find additional information about these systems here: www.furunousa.com/en/products/sonars/browse?filter=Discontinued.eq.false&group={6809C7DA-A9ED-4989-8E75-70553598F24D}&groupName=WASSP

Wow on the depth, but in reality how many fish at a 1,000 ft with an regularity. Competitors aren’t focusing on clients who regularly fish at a 1000 ft. Untrue about your competitor not being to do depth. Try RayMarine Axiom Plus - 900 ft. - but I am willing to give on a 100 feet.
