Key Features & Benefits

1. Advanced CHIRP and Dual-Frequency Operation

• Feature: Operates on low (50 kHz) and high (200 kHz) frequencies simultaneously or individually. It utilizes advanced CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse) signal processing.

• Benefit: This provides exceptional target resolution and separation. You can easily distinguish between closely spaced fish and identify species based on arch shape and signal strength. The dual-frequency display allows you to compare bottom hardness and fish returns from two different perspectives at once.

2. Ultra-Bright 10.4-inch Monochrome LCD Display (MU-101C)

• Feature: The MU-101C monitor features a high-resolution, sunlight-viewable LCD screen with 8-level grayscale.

• Benefit: Offers a crystal-clear, easy-to-read display even in the brightest direct sunlight. The high contrast ensures you never miss a weak echo or subtle detail on the bottom.

3. Real-Time A-Scope (Fish Arch Indicator)

• Feature: A vertical bar on the side of the screen shows a real-time, instantaneous view of what is directly beneath your boat.

• Benefit: Allows you to see fish as they enter your cone area and react immediately, perfect for jigging, bottom fishing, or verifying tentative marks on the main scroll.

4. Advanced Bottom Discrimination & Lock

• Feature: The Bottom Lock function zooms in on a user-selectable layer above the bottom, separating bottom-hugging fish from the seafloor. The White Line feature helps distinguish hard and soft bottoms.

• Benefit: Crucial for targeting demersal species like snapper, grouper, and cod that sit directly on or near the bottom. You’ll know if the bottom is rocky, sandy, or muddy, helping you choose the right tackle and avoid snags.

5. Powerful Output and Interference Rejection

• Feature: With a powerful 1 kW (optional 2 kW) output and sophisticated Noise Rejection algorithms.

• Benefit: Penetrates to extreme depths and maintains a clean, easy-to-interpret picture even in noisy electrical environments or when fishing near other boats.

6. Robust and Reliable Design

• Feature: Built to FURUNO’s legendary marine standards, the FCV-1200L is designed for continuous operation in harsh saltwater environments.

• Benefit: Provides years of dependable service, making it a smart long-term investment for any serious vessel.
