I recently purchased a furuno fcv-620. The package was shipped to me and it contained the wrong transducer (without speed and temp). The company who sent it arranged that I can return the transducer to the agents nearby and receive the one I paid for. They swopped the transducer for the one with speed and temp. Upon opening the package I discovered that the transducer didn't look like the other one (apart from the fact that it is a different unit!!!) The one I originally received was spotless and looked like a mirror on the bottom side. This one had very fine scratches and marks on the bottom side.
I am not full of $#% at all with such things but when it comes to sensitive equipment like a fishfinder it bothers me. I phoned the guy at the agents and he swears its brand new. Can these just be scratches and marks from manufacturing? Or do they actually test each unit?
I am concerned that this transducer will not be working 100% and I will take 5-10 fishing trips to discover it (if I ever do discover it).
How can I test this unit? I tried testing it in a swimming pool but that didn't really deliver. I can read the bottom though! (1.6m)
