Furuno FCV800 CHIRP Fishfinder Product Description
Unlock Crystal-Clear Underwater Views with TruEcho CHIRP Technology
Imagine scanning the depths with precision that turns murky waters into a vivid map of fish, structure, and seabed composition. The Furuno FCV800 elevates your fishing game by harnessing TruEcho CHIRP, a broadband frequency-modulated signal that sweeps across a wide spectrum. Unlike traditional single-frequency sonar, this technology paints a sharper picture of baitfish schools, trophy game fish, and hidden wrecks, delivering superior target separation even in cluttered environments.
Anglers chasing pelagic species or bottom-dwellers appreciate how CHIRP's varying frequencies adapt to different depths and conditions. Shallow reefs show fine details without noise, while deep-water hunts reveal subtle echoes that narrowband systems miss. This isn't just about seeing more—it's about interpreting the water column like a pro, spotting the difference between a thermocline and a feeding frenzy at a glance.
Dual Transducer Ports: The Best of CHIRP and Conventional Worlds
What sets this fishfinder apart is its dual transducer capability, letting you run CHIRP and conventional CW (Continuous Wave) channels side by side. Pair a CHIRP transducer for high-resolution imaging with a CW unit for specialized tools like fish sizing and bottom typing. No more choosing between worlds—you get them both, simultaneously.
For coastal cruisers or offshore adventurers, this flexibility means deploying the right tool for the job without swapping gear. Run high-frequency CHIRP for precise bait location during live-lining sessions, while CW handles the heavy lifting for structure fishing. It's a seamless blend that maximizes your time on the water, minimizing setup hassles.
Accu-Fish: Size Up Your Next Catch Effortlessly
Ever wondered if that blip is a keeper or a throwback? Accu-Fish steps in with its unique assessment function, estimating fish size and depth in real-time. Using CW frequencies, it overlays icons on your display—larger fish get bigger symbols—for quick decisions amid the action.
This feature shines in competitive scenarios, like tournaments where seconds count. Pair it with bottom discrimination, and you'll know if you're hovering over sand flats teeming with flounder or gravelly grounds holding snapper. Four graphic displays—rock, sand, gravel, mud—make seabed reading intuitive, helping you anchor precisely or drift with confidence.
RezBoost and Color Range Expansion: Sharper Images, Smarter Reads
RézBoost signal processing sharpens conventional transducers up to eight times clearer, rivaling high-end CHIRP without the premium cost. Combine it with Color Range Expansion, and echoes from fish near the bottom pop in distinct hues, separating them from structure effortlessly.
Daylight visibility gets a boost from specialized palettes like Sunlight and Yellow, ensuring readability under harsh glare. The White Line feature outlines the seabed's top edge, revealing fish hugging the bottom that might otherwise blend in. These enhancements transform raw data into actionable insights, whether you're jigging deep or casting topwater.
Advanced Connectivity and Stability Features
Stay connected with wireless second-display options, perfect for sharing screens with crew without messy cabling. TLL output marks fishing hot spots with depth, temp, fish size, and bottom data—ideal for integrating with chart systems. Bottom Hardness output feeds external plotters, enhancing your vessel's ecosystem.
In choppy conditions, heave correction via Satellite Compass stabilizes readings, filtering boat motion for accurate depth and fish positioning. Alarms for depth, fish echoes, speed, and arrivals keep you alert, while a 3,000 PRR transmission rate delivers rapid updates for dynamic situations.
Tailored for Real-World Fishing Adventures
From bay boats probing inlets to sportfishers pushing bluewater limits, this 8.4-inch color LCD thrives in diverse setups. Its 600W power handles ranges up to 1,200 meters, with frequencies spanning CW 50-200 kHz or CHIRP 40-225 kHz. Compact yet robust, it draws from 12-24 VDC, fitting seamlessly into any electrical system.
Fishermen report fewer false readings and quicker target locks, crediting the fast refresh and noise rejection. It's not hype—it's the edge that turns good days into limits, built on Furuno's legacy of reliable marine tech.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes TruEcho CHIRP better than standard sonar?
TruEcho CHIRP transmits across a broad frequency range, providing finer detail and better separation of fish from bait and structure compared to fixed-frequency sonar, especially in varied depths.
Can I use both CHIRP and CW transducers at once?
Yes, the dual ports allow simultaneous operation, unlocking CW-exclusive features like Accu-Fish while enjoying CHIRP's resolution.
How does Bottom Discrimination work?
It analyzes echoes to classify the seabed as rock, sand, gravel, or mud using color-coded graphics, helping target the right habitat.
Is the display visible in bright sunlight?
Optimized color palettes like Sunlight ensure excellent visibility, even on sunny days.
What is RezBoost technology?
RézBoost enhances conventional CW transducers for up to 8x sharper images, bridging the gap to CHIRP performance.
Does it support wireless displays?
Yes, wireless connectivity enables easy second-screen setup for crew viewing.
How does heave correction improve readings?
When paired with a Satellite Compass, it compensates for boat pitch and roll, delivering stable sonar data in rough seas.
FCV800 CHIRP Fishfinder
The 8.4” FCV800 includes all of the functionality of the FCV600 but features dual transducer ports, allowing for the simultaneous use of both CHIRP and CW channels. The dual transducer ports of the FCV800 offer the best of both worlds. Features such as Furuno’s Accu-Fish fish size assessment tool and Bottom Discrimination to display what kind of material the bottom is composed of require a dual-frequency CW transducer, while Furuno’s TruEcho CHIRP delivers greater detail and target separation for baitfish, game fish, and structure.
With the FCV800’s ability to drive both TruEcho CHIRP and CW options at the same time, those sought-after CW-only features can be combined with TruEcho CHIRP’s frequency-modulated signal to deliver those exclusive Furuno features while providing better resolution for targets on the screen.
