PRE OWNED FURUNO FCV-667 FURUNO FCV-667 MARINE ECHO SOUNDER

The Furuno FCV-667 is a dual-frequency color echo sounder featuring a bright 6-inch CRT (or high-contrast LCD in later versions) that provides a vivid 8-color presentation of the seabed and fish schools. Its dual-frequency capability (50 kHz and 200 kHz) allows the operator to choose between deep-water penetration and high-resolution shallow-water detail.

Known for its straightforward, knob-driven interface, the FCV-667 allows for rapid adjustments of gain, range, and clutter filters. It is engineered to withstand the harsh marine environment, featuring a rugged housing and gold-plated connectors. This model is particularly prized for its "White Line" feature, which clearly distinguishes bottom-dwelling fish from the seabed, making it an excellent tool for bottom-trawling and reef fishing.

KEY FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

-- Dual-Frequency Versatility: Use 50 kHz for tracking the bottom in deep water and 200 kHz for high-definition spotting of individual fish and bait balls in shallower depths.

-- A-Scope Presentation: Provides a real-time side-bar view of the echo strength currently under the transducer, allowing for immediate identification of bottom hardness.

-- White Line Feature: Enhances the distinction between the seabed and fish targets lying very close to the bottom, essential for precise commercial fishing.

-- Automatic Gain & Range: Features an "Auto" mode that manages the system settings, allowing the operator to focus on navigation while the sounder optimizes the picture.

-- Rugged Construction: Built with marine-grade materials and a splash-proof front panel, ensuring reliable operation in open-bridge or high-vibration environments.

-- NMEA 0183 Integration: Can display GPS position, speed, and water temperature (with appropriate sensors) directly on the screen, acting as a central navigation repeater.

TYPICAL CONDITION (USED/REFURBISHED)

Our refurbished FCV-667 units from the Alang yards undergo a thorough multi-stage inspection. We pay specific attention to the CRT/LCD brightness and focus, ensuring the color separation remains sharp. The Transceiver PCB is tested for consistent power output and sensitivity at both 50 kHz and 200 kHz. We verify that all rotary knobs and tactile buttons provide a firm, positive response. Each unit is bench-tested with a transducer simulator to ensure the depth readings and NMEA data strings are accurate before shipping.
