Furuno FCV295 Fishfinder

Designed With the Commercial Fisherman In Mind

The FCV-295 is a new color digital sounder designed for a variety of professional fishing operations. It features a bonded "fogging-free" 10.4" LCD display providing superior viewing even in direct sunlight. You can display echoes in 8, 16, or 64 colors, with color assignment dependent on the strength of the returned echo.

The FURUNO Free Synthesizer (FFS) Transceiver allows a wide selection of operating frequencies. You may choose any two frequencies between 28 and 200 KHz to fit your fishing operation. Output power is selectable from 1, 2 or 3 KW. A wide variety of display modes and functions are available, which provide skippers with simple and intuitive information.

FURUNO digital filter optimizes the gain to obtain highly defined images of underwater conditions. The FCV-295 can clearly show target fish close to the seabed. The digital filter also eliminates noise, to deliver sharp and detailed echo presentation, achieving the detection of fishing reefs and even individual fish with absolute clarity.

When FURUNO transducers are connected and set to the FCV-295, the operating frequency range will be registered and shown in the menu. The user can shift the operating frequency freely between the ranges at any time from the menu. With the FURUNO 82B-35R transducer, the operator can select any operating frequency from 66 to 109 KHz. This feature is particularly useful for vessels targeting many different species, or when the fish finders of other ships in the area cause interference.

The rate of transmission is increased by more than 30% compared to conventional fish finders. As the result, more detailed information about underwater conditions can be gained through the same sounding interval. With the FCV-295's AUTO transmission function, the rate is automatically raised in shallow waters and lowered in deep waters, which provides for detailed detection of seabed targets.
