Furuno Flush Mount Kit f/FCV800

Enhance the sleek look of your boat's helm with the Furuno Flush Mount Kit designed exclusively for the FCV800 fishfinder. This kit transforms your console from cluttered to streamlined, embedding the display unit seamlessly into your dashboard for a professional, factory-fitted appearance that every serious angler or boater appreciates.

Why Flush Mounting Makes a Difference on the Water

Picture this: You're battling choppy waves, scanning for that next big catch, and your electronics blend perfectly into the setup—no protruding edges to snag gear or distract your focus. Unlike surface mounts that add bulk and vulnerability, this flush kit sits your FCV800 level with the surface, reducing glare on the screen and minimizing exposure to salt spray, UV rays, and accidental bumps. It's a small upgrade with big impacts on usability and longevity, especially during long tournaments or offshore adventures.

Engineered for Precision Fit and Marine Toughness

• Tailored Template: Includes a precise cutout template to match the FCV800's dimensions exactly, eliminating guesswork and ensuring a snug fit every time.
• High-Quality Materials: Crafted from durable, corrosion-resistant components that withstand harsh saltwater conditions, backed by Furuno's reputation for reliability.
• Complete Hardware Set: Comes with all necessary mounting brackets, screws, and gaskets for a watertight seal, preventing moisture ingress that could fog your display.
• Easy Cable Routing: Thoughtful design allows for clean cable management through the console, keeping wiring hidden and organized.

Boaters who've switched to flush mounting often report fewer vibrations affecting sonar readings—a common headache on powered vessels. This kit secures the unit rigidly, maintaining crystal-clear bottom contours and fish arches even at trolling speeds.

Step-by-Step Installation Insights from the Field

Installing this kit is straightforward for DIY enthusiasts with basic tools, typically taking under an hour. Start by tracing the provided template onto your console material—whether fiberglass, aluminum, or wood. Cut carefully with a jigsaw or hole saw, then test-fit the bezel. Secure the FCV800 with the included fasteners, apply the gasket for sealing, and route cables neatly. Pro tip: Sand edges smooth and add a bead of marine sealant around the perimeter for extra protection against flexing panels. If your console is thicker than standard, minor adjustments to bracket depth ensure a level mount.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Don't rush the template step; misalignment leads to rework. Always disconnect power before starting, and double-check clearance for behind-console space. For curved surfaces, a flexible template extension (often handy with these kits) prevents distortion.

Boost Your FCV800's Performance and Aesthetics

This genuine Furuno accessory complements the FCV800's advanced features—like its high-resolution imaging and intuitive controls—by keeping the focus on the data, not the hardware. Anglers love how it frees up dash real estate for additional gear, such as GPS or VHF radios. Over time, it preserves resale value by showcasing a clean, pro install that screams quality maintenance.

In marine electronics, where every inch of space and ounce of reliability counts, this flush mount kit stands out as an essential for customizing your setup without compromises.
