Thread: Tm260 or Tm185m

What plotter/fishfinder/s are you running?

The chirp transducers like the TM265 will have better target separation but cost more too. And chirp may not be compatible with an older model fishfinder.

Are you only targeting the deep water or will you fish shallow and other game fish?

Are you running an existing transducer setup and wish to add a 1kw along side this?

Alloy or fiberglass hull?

I run a fibreglass hull with a thru hull M265LH that reads very well on the plane. Placement of the transducer and interference like air bubbles from planing strakes can impact the quality of your sounder returns/picture.
