The curl cord stretches just right for comfortable reach without tangling, and its ergonomic grip fits naturally, reducing fatigue on long watches.

• Durable Construction: Built to thrive in harsh marine environments, from commercial fishing boats to offshore supply vessels.

Boaters and professionals alike rave about how it elevates their setup, turning a standard VHF into a command-center essential.

Perfect Fit for Your Furuno VHF System

Compatibility isn't an afterthought here—it's precision-engineered. Plug this handset straight into your FM-8900S or FM-8800S, and you're ready to go. No adapters, no hassle. It's ideal for vessels requiring Class A DSC compliance, where dependable handsets mean safer operations and regulatory peace of mind.

Whether upgrading a worn-out mic or outfitting a new install, it maintains the high standards of Furuno's commercial-grade lineup, supporting features like digital selective calling and group messaging without a hitch.

Quick Installation and Everyday Reliability

Setting it up takes minutes: Connect the curl cord to your radio's handset port, secure the mounting clip if needed, and test the line. That's it—no special tools or electrician required. Once in place, it performs flawlessly shift after shift.

For maintenance, a simple rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure keeps it looking and sounding new. Avoid extreme bends in the cord, and store it coiled loosely when not in use to preserve that signature curl.
