The Furuno FCV1150 is a professional-grade color digital sounder designed for commercial fishing operations. Featuring a high-brightness 12.1" color LCD display with 800x600 resolution and AR-coated glass filter, this fishfinder delivers superior, glare-free viewing even in direct sunlight and works with anti-polarized sunglasses.
Advanced Furuno Free Synthesizer (FFS) Technology:
The FCV1150 employs Furuno's proprietary FFS technology, allowing a wide selection of operating frequencies from 28 to 200 kHz across two selectable outputs. When paired with Furuno transducers (sold separately), the operating frequency is automatically configured and can be manually adjusted to target different fish species or eliminate interference from nearby vessels. Output power is selectable among 1 kW, 2 kW, or 3 kW to suit various fishing conditions and depths.
Enhanced Transmission and Detection:
- Transmission rate increased by over 30% compared to conventional fishfinders for more detailed underwater information
- Automatic transmission rate switching based on depth—faster in shallow water, optimized for deep water
- Furuno Digital Filter (FDF) technology for crystal-clear target presentation
- Heaving compensation capability when interfaced with Furuno Satellite Compass for stable detection in rough seas
Versatile Display Modes:
Multiple display configurations include Single (HF/LF), Dual Frequency, Single + Zoom, Zoom (Bottom Lock, Bottom Zoom, or Marker Zoom), Mix Mode, Nav Data, and A-Scope. Color options include 8, 16, or 64 colors for optimal target distinction. Two custom display modes can be programmed for specific fishing requirements.
Professional Features:
- Quick Gain Setting with postprocessing gain control applied to all on-screen echoes
- White Edge bottom discrimination feature displays seabed structure in white to distinguish bottom fish from seafloor
- Split screen capability for simultaneous viewing of multiple frequencies or display modes
- Anti-polarized sunglass filter compatibility
Power Requirements:
- 12-24 VDC, 50W maximum
