Features of the FCV-627
• Powered with Accu-Fish digital technology, it can assess individual fish sizes based on the quality of the echo signal returned.
• Using the new Bottom Discrimination function introduced by Furuno, one glance is enough to determine whether the surface of the sea-bottom is sandy, rocky, muddy or lined with gravel.
• Its advanced White Line feature can even pick up the trace of fish lying near the sea-bottom.
• The gain, STC clutter and output power can be auto-adjusted using Furuno Digital Filtering (FDF) in hands-free mode, allowing the user to carry on fishing or cruising uninterrupted.
• It can be connected to the external NME0183 GPS-cum-Speed Sensor device to track the boat’s position and speed. You can then store the latitude and longitude of your favorite fishing spots on the GPS Chart Plotter for future trips out to sea.
• It allows you to program the navigation data display to plot both analog and digital data.
• It has configurable audio and visual alarms to indicate when the desired depth, water temperature or fish echo strength is reached.
• All bottom and fish echoes are processed through gain control before being displayed on the screen.
Various underwater conditions are clearly displayed on the bright LCD screen of the FCV-627 fish finder using the innovative features from Furuno. Out at sea, you would wear polarized sunglasses to protect your eyes from the harsh glare of the sun. The LCD screen of the Furuno FCV-627 offers clear visibility even under these conditions.
You will need to separately purchase the NMEA0183 GPS-cum-Speed Sensor and Chart Plotter and connecting cables to integrate these with the Furuno FCV-627 fish finder. You will also need a thru-hull or transom transducer mount, which is sold separately. With all the exciting features and add-on functionality that the FCV-627 fish finder offers, you can enjoy the best fishing experience ever.
