Will be purchasing the 1971 in the next few weeks.  IMHO Furuno is top of the line as far as FF goes. Going to use the current Airmar ducer that is in hull on my boat.  Don't think I need the updated ducer that you have a option to use. Have the 585 on other boat and am not in any hurry to upgrade that excellent working unit.The 1971 is a upgraded version with a bigger screen. Will keep the older Garmin GPS so I can leave the 1971 on full FF display ,unless returning to port when I can go full screen on the 1971 GPS. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

I was talking to a guy a couple weeks ago who had just installed one . He said it was unbelevable. Turn it on with factory settings and go. Price of the 1871 is tempting. I currently run a old 582L that still works fine.

Thanks for the info. I also had the 585 it was the best. Now have a smaller boat. Was looking at garmin echo map plus and lowrance splitshot. The furuno appears superior to both. Wish I could actually c one but no dealers even close to where I am in central ny
