Got a Furuno FCV 620 with an Airmar B60 through hull transducer. Best thing I ever did for the boat. Absolutely awesome unit. If you're in the market for a new unit, take a hard look at this unit.

Sorry I couldn't help with your current situation
Good luck

Thanks if all else fails will look into Furuno.......ICM

Update..........Moved the transducer to inside the sponsom. Had to do it twice - once with silicone - did not read. The second time moved it a little further back & tacked it in place with Putty Epoxy & it's working great at all speeds without any image loss......
Moved the transom mounted transducer ( they installed it right behind the live well clam shell pick up ) to the left outside edge of the Port hull & it also reading at all speeds.......
It's amazing what you can see........Thanks.....ICM
