Spewin I went there but I took my daughter. Bad move cause all I heard is " I wanna go home " as soon as we got there so I didn't stay long enough to look around

So many fishing spots. Not enough sickies!!!!!!!

Cheers Dal will have to pop down to a few shops and see who's got the best deal

So many fishing spots. Not enough sickies!!!!!!!

Plus the bracket which is more than the tranducer
Im pretty sure i can get them for $2000 with 600w
i'll find out if ya want

Cost price for the unit is about $1600.
Cost price for the stainless bracket and the 1kw transducer is about $600.

Then they add their markup.

Hi everyone

This is my first post so please be nice would not like my head bitten on first time on

 I have been reading with interest about the 585s just like to make a few points which might be of interest to you all

 if you buy from interstate you mite have a problem with warranty  as taylors will charge for warranty if not purchased in WA

 and yes the cost of the units have been increased because of the dollar about 20% old retail price for the 585 $ 2145.00 plus trans 135.00 for 600kw tm the new price will be in the range of $ 2500.00 plus trans

1kw trans with stainless steel bracket is about $ 750.00 they were made in NZ so i was told

last yes i do have one with the 1 kw and am very happy with it

all I'm really saying is really do the home work on the whole package

Steve

hey guys..

well i learnt alot today , i took  some "older guys" (me mates jimbo and buddah) out fishing, great blokes, very experienced, one thing i did learn is the sounding of ground, i thought i had my setup pretty good,

well turns out quite the opposite,, me ol mate changed this n that, ranges/zooms, etc and wow i seriously couldnt believe it, we were fishing a range of ground today, even sounding ground doing 20knots..

the had nice flares on the bottom lock and we reduced the transducer rate from 1kw to 600w,fishing 40-50m,seriously worked so much better, clearer, set the bottom lock to 3metres, clutter 20%, gain on manual, about 2-3 perfect..

this ol mate of mine never used this type of sounder but was skippering a fishing charter for a few yrs, and i learnt a great deal from him today.

awesome sounders..

even better now.lol

best thing about today, was i didnt even skipper, yup

jimbo drove, put us on the fish, moved around etc, i absolutly had a ball.

It is said the wizdom of age is only learnt from the old,and recognising when one can(needs) to learn.Half your luck Harro,do you think I could borrow them for a day,jersey

I want the same deal 585 with 1kw give me a call if you think we can get cheaper in bulk.

0418 922 998

$2600 is best at the moment i have found.

Ok I will do my best, is the 1000kw tranny through hull or transume mounted,does the $2600.00 includ the bracket?as there are 3 trannys 2 are the 1000kw and 1 the 600kw,my number is 93099438 jersey

thats with the stainless tranny mount

Most of the post have said the 1000kwt tranny is around $3/500.00 on top the unit price,of ,say $1960.00 we then have the cost of the tranny bracket S/S and randge in price from$300.00 too$700.00.The best I have so far is $2880.00 for the unit,the 1000kwt tranny and the mounting bracket,if WrasseMaster can get them for $2600.00 then I say go for it,I will keep you all notified if I can get any better on the prices I got,jersey

I went for a big 1kw commercial dual freq tranducer and had a bracket made for it.
This set up gives me a perfect clear bottom lock at 20knots ( around my top speed on the tin-palace) and crystal clear views in deep water as well.
