Good day, I just bought a transducer (R209) for my 1920 C furuno display but seem to have a probleem with the setup on the display. I have no radar connected to the system and to do the installation I need to start at the radar screen and afterwards to system setup - network sounder setup. Can someone help to reach the correct page/display without having a radar. I look forward to you reply. regards charles

run a resistance test on the connecting cable as the wire can become corroded inside the insulation and break contact

Your antenna seems to be mis alighned. Its ZERO point must be readjusted.

I think for this one your best bet would to be to call Furuno tech. directly. They'll be more than happy to upgrade your instrument.

There are two numbers:
Camas, WA 360-834-9300
Denton, MD 410-479-4420

Hope this is helpful.

If you reset it and while in the Initial Settings" Menu, you press menu, it should take you to the transducer setup screen. These menus allow for "Transducer Type" to be changed to your exact transducer. See the "Installation Manual", which is different than the "Operators Manual". Section 3 page 9 and 10. You may have to enter your units of measure (Knots vs MPH, etc), and then it will allow you to choose the transducer type. Hope this helps. John Barry, 847-746-0100, technicalmarine.com.

Hi!

This transducer requires a hole to be drilled in the bottom of the hull and the unit installed from the outside, using a caulk/adhesive such as 3M 4200 or 5200. Nice choice. Furuno is a good manufacturer!

Hope this helps!

Furuno just stopped producing these models about a year ago. They use a special chart card. You can still purchase the cards from Navionics or C-map if you need to. I will tell you from experience that you should get your internal battery changed out if you havent done so already to keep from losing your settings and waypoints. The dealer will have to save them for you though and put them back on. Furuno made a GP7000 to replace this one and it's uses SDcards and is nothing like the rest of Furuno's product line. The best replacement for this unit is the Garmin GPSMAP 700 series. You can use your old furuno transducer if you have one (with an adapter plug). This garmin unit also has a built in GPS or you can use an external one. The 700 series will be shipped in April. Check out Garmin's website or mid-shore electronics.

i will exchange this for you, free shipping no charge, just ship it to me to inspect and i will send you the transom ducer no charge, if you have a bronze thru hull with speed and temp to trade for a plastic transom mount with speed and temp, let me know

Yes, the current model of this is the FCV 585 and it is great. The transducer will need to be changed.

you need an MB1100 matching box has the 10 pin pigtail for your sounder and accepts bare wire input from your ducer
this will also ensure that all power from sonar get to ducer, but it from me if you like 847-746-0100

This unit has built in sonar, so no DFF1 is required. The 1KW transom mount is in stock here, with the proper Furuno 10 pin connector. That is all you need, the display, the power cord, the GPS antenna, the transducer and THE BOOK! We are a Furuno dealer in the Great Lakes
