You should be getting much better than that. Those stats are more like what you get with the standard transducer. 

I'm getting good readings over 400m on a Garmin 600w Chirp transducer at slow speed I generally loose it at speed around 100m.

Check what transducer is selected in transducer setup - it should be 526TID (or something like that), if you just select 1KW you wont get the right result. 588 with TM260 should perform way better than 200m]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2017 20:48:48 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=125687&PID=1704457&title=furuno-fcv588#1704457 <![CDATA[Furuno FCV588 : My 588 with TM260 gets to about...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=125687&PID=1702922&title=furuno-fcv588#1702922 Author: Marknado4000

My 588 with TM260 gets to about 400m then runs out of puff, regardless of settings, would also like to know more.]]> Thu, 28 Sep 2017 14:48:55 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=125687&PID=1702922&title=furuno-fcv588#1702922 <![CDATA[Furuno FCV588 : it was bought as a package, its...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=125687&PID=1702867&title=furuno-fcv588#1702867 Author: gkd@igrin.co.nz

I guess he has the matching unit to make the 1KW transducer work to the 600w sounder?]]> Wed, 27 Sep 2017 21:08:49 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=125687&PID=1702865&title=furuno-fcv588#1702865 <![CDATA[Furuno FCV588 : yeah had it on LF (low frequency)...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=125687&PID=1702850&title=furuno-fcv588#1702850 Author: gkd@igrin.co.nz

Mate has just put one on his boat with a 1kw transducer, had it out the other day for the first time, lost the bottom at 200ish mtrs and wouldnt pic it up till we got back to 180ish mtrs, tried playing with gain etc but nothing would help, anyone got the same unit that could help with how to best set it up?
