FURUNO FSV-75 Sonar

Electronic Navigations Ltd - December 13, 2023

High Resolution Half Circle Scanning Sonar, 180kHz

The most advanced half-circle sonar with unparalleled image detail and 3D mode.

Detailed echoes near the seabed thanks to enhanced detection capabilities

The adoption of innovative signal processing technology dramatically increases the sensitivity of the Sonar and provides clearer and sharper echoes.

 A higher resolution allows us to clearly separate the echoes from the fish and the seabed

High frequency (180 kHz) allows clear and easy discernment between fish and seabed, or fishing net and school of fish

The FSV-75 uses high frequency (180 kHz) which can easily detect fish tight on the bottom or nets. This allows you to locate and track fish on the screen with greater accuracy.

Perfect to search for fish with rapid movement such as skipjack or tuna

The FSV-75 is particularly useful for fast moving fish such as tuna and skipjack, thanks to a fast transmitting/receiving rate at short range.

Fan-shaped beam, higher scanning speed, wider range, the performance of half-circle Sonar taken to a whole new level

Detect fish that you might otherwise overlook thanks to the combination of 3 technical improvements, such as a unique fan-shaped beam, a greater detection range, and a higher scanning speed.

See underwater in 3D!

Furuno Half-circle Sonar FSV-75_3D mode Furuno

This mode allows you to monitor the location and movement of fish relative to the seabed in 3D, which makes fish detection and net casting operation more efficient.

Forward detection history mode

The forward detection history mode scans the forward area of own ship, and shows sonar echoes in 3D format. This mode is useful for estimating the profile of the sea bed.

Tilt cross-section mode

The tilt cross-section mode scans the tilt angle within the selected width, and shows the underwater Sonar echoes in the scanning area in 3D format. This mode useful for seeing the shape of the fishing net in the water.

Sweep cross-section mode

The sweep cross-section mode rotates the detection beam in a sweep (revolution) direction with the tilt angle fixed to "90 degrees", and shows the underwater Sonar echoes around own ship in 3D format. This mode is useful for finding the position of a school of fish.

Density calculation function

 The function displays a virtual "basket" measuring the approximate volume of fish in the selected area. The amount of fish expected in the measurement zone is displayed in the "density information window". Knowing in real time the fish volume in the target area allows the fisherman to determine the best time to start fishing operation.

Cross-sectional slice function

The cross-sectional function allows you to see echoes of the cross-section of a 3D model sliced in a vertical and horizontal plane.
