The FCV585 Furuno is a good unit. I went with the FCV 620 which is the same unit design as the 585 but 600w vs 1000w. Combine this with a good thru hull and your around $1000.

I have been very happy with the unit. The 585 wasn't in my boat budget.

Should have went to BOE Marine. They have the E-5 for $414.73 then the $100 rebate on top of that. I was looking at that unit for my little boat.
