Furuno FCV-588 8.4” Colour LCD Fishfinder With TM260 Transducer 1kW

Fantastic clarity and target separation

Ideal for medium to large-sized trailer boats, the Furuno
FCV-588 8.4″ Colour LCD Fishfinder features an enhanced
sunlight viewable, polarised-friendly bonded 8.4″ LCD display and
uses the revolutionary RezBoost technology that increases
resolution and improves target separation. This package comes
complete with an Airmar TM260 1kW transom mount transducer for the
best performance.

RezBoost
RezBoost is a revolutionary new signal processing technology that
improves resolution and target separation when using conventional
narrowband transducers. Spot individual game fish surrounding bait
balls, as well as fish close to the seabed. Not only can you expect
higher resolution and crisper visuals, but also improvements in the
ACCU-FISH function.

With RezBoost technology, the resolution is increased, leading to
sharper and more defined echoes. Thanks to this increase in
resolution, the accuracy of the ACCU-FISH function is also
improved. ACCU-FISH is very useful when you need to determine fish
size, but also has the added benefit of making fish echoes more
visible when viewed from a distance. With ACCU-FISH you can spot
individual fish echoes even from the deck on your vessel.

ACCU-FISH
Recognise individual or multiple fish instantaneously with
ACCU-FISH! In order to assess individual fish size, echo returns
are evaluated based on strength and turned into fish size display
on screen. ACCU-FISH can detect fish size from 10 to 199 cm, in
depths of 2 to 100 m. The fish mark can be utilised to display
individual fish echoes when they are detected. It helps you to
identify fish echoes for a more engaging fishing experience. Fish
marks are selectable from either a circle or square, as well as,
two fish symbols. The fish symbols, displayed in two different
sizes (Large: over 50 cm, Small: 10 to 49 cm), are a great help for
anglers when identifying individual fish. The circle and square
symbols identify individual fish without hiding the underlying
echo.

Bottom Discrimination Function
FCV628’s Bottom Discrimination function enables the fishfinder to
indicate whether the bottom is composed mainly of rocks, gravel,
sand or mud. It provides you with valuable information that helps
you locate rich fishing grounds and boost your catch of the day.
The White Line function distinguishes fish from the seabed. This
function is useful for discriminating bottom fish as well as
judging fish school density.

Alarm Function
With the FCV-588’s Fish Alarm function, when fish echoes appear in
an area preset by the user, the FCV-588 will sound a loud alarm and
display an alarm icon on-screen. The integrated alarm can also be
set to be triggered by specific conditions for water depth, target
depth, water temperature, bottom type and more. You never have to
miss a target again!

The Transducer
The new Airmar TM260 takes the legendary performance of the B260 to
your vessel’s transom. This top-of-the-line 1kW transom-mount
brings crystal clear imaging to any of today’s fishfinders. The
large 200 kHz element and the seven-element 50 kHz array are
excellent for bait and game fish separation along with detecting
ground fish holding tight to the bottom. The TM260’s
high-performance mounting bracket is easy-to-install and has a
streamlined shape that delivers high-speed performance up to 30
knots (35 MPH).

Furuno FCV-588 8.4″ Colour LCD Fishfinder
Features:

• Improved clarity and resolution that was previously impossible
  with conventional narrowband transducers has been made possible
  thanks to the new RezBoost technology
• ACCU-FISH – A unique fish size analyser based on the latest
  digital technology
• Bottom Discrimination – Analyses bottom structure. Provides an
  at-a-glance recognition of bottom composition with four types of
