Furuno TZT13E TZtouch 13" MFD | CHIRP Fishfinder

Furuno built its reputation on fishfinding and radar that professionals trust, and the TZT13E puts that pedigree into a modern glass-helm display. It's a 13-inch multi-touch multifunction display that combines a color touchscreen with a built-in fishfinder, so you get navigation and serious sonar in one unit. For anglers who care about what's under the boat and want a display that networks out to a full system, this is a strong choice.

The screen is a 13-inch color multi-touch LCD with a clean, responsive interface. Multi-touch means you interact with it the way you'd expect from a modern touchscreen, pinch to zoom, swipe to pan, tap to select, which keeps operation quick and intuitive even in a busy cockpit. It's a big, clear canvas for charts, sonar, and radar side by side.

The built-in fishfinder is where Furuno's heritage shows. It supports both traditional CW sonar at 50 and 200 kHz and CHIRP sonar across a 40 to 225 kHz range, and it works with 300 watt, 600 watt, and 1 kilowatt transducers, so you can match it to everything from inshore work to deep offshore fishing, out to a maximum range of 1200 meters. CHIRP sweeps across a band of frequencies for excellent target separation and clarity, which is what lets you pick individual fish out of a school and read structure cleanly. The transducer is chosen to suit your boat and water.

This is a networkable display, built to be part of a larger system rather than a standalone screen. It's radar compatible, so you can add a Furuno radar and see it right on the display. The sonar is expandable, and it integrates IP devices and cameras, so you can bring engine-room or cockpit camera feeds onto the screen. It connects to the boat's electronics for a unified helm. That expandability is a big part of the appeal, start with this display and grow it into a full multi-station, radar-equipped, camera-integrated system over time.

Physically it's a substantial 13-inch display, about 14 inches wide, 8 inches high, and 16 inches deep including the connections behind it, at around 13.8 pounds, so plan your helm space and mounting for a display of that size. It runs on a 12 to 24 volt DC supply, which fits both smaller and larger boat electrical systems.

There's a reason Furuno earns the loyalty it does among serious captains and commercial crews. The fishfinding is the real draw, tuned over decades to pull clean, readable returns out of tough conditions, and the TZT13E carries that forward in a modern touchscreen package. Pair it with the right transducer for your water and you get a picture that helps you understand structure and find fish rather than just marking blobs. Add radar and cameras down the line and this one 13-inch display becomes the trusted center of a full offshore helm you can rely on trip after trip.

On a practical note, its multi-touch interface is genuinely easy to learn, so even a crew member new to the boat can pull up a chart or check sonar without a manual, while an experienced captain gets the depth and expandability to run a full offshore system. That range, simple at the surface, deep underneath, is a big part of why these displays stay in service for years.

Who's this for? Anglers and cruisers who want Furuno's trusted fishfinding and a big, fast multi-touch display, with the ability to expand into radar, more sonar, and cameras. If serious sonar performance matters to you and you want a networkable 13-inch helm display to build a full system around, the TZT13E delivers the fishfinding heritage and the modern touchscreen experience in one unit. There's also a 9-inch TZT9E in the same family if you want the same capability in a smaller screen.
