Furuno
Furuno has introduced a pair of new professional-grade fish finders that incorporate the cutting-edge technology and improved digital signal processing featured in their top-end gear. The 10.4-inch FCV-295 ($2,995) and the 12.1-inch FCV-1150 ($4,595) are color LCD finders that can be installed with output power of 1, 2 or 3 kW, depending on the way you fish. Especially helpful when dialing in on particular species or conditions, the sonar offers "slewable" dual-frequency tuning from 28 to 200 kHz for precise configuration that yields maximum detail and return. Furuno's White Line display emphasizes the contrast between sea bottom and bottom fish returns, aiding interpretation. An increased transmission rate and sophisticated Quick Gain control combined with advanced digital filtering maximize the usability of the screen image. Both have NMEA 0183 ports and are Ethernet compatible for linking with Furuno's NavNet 3D network. www.furunousa.com
