Engineered with cutting-edge Furuno Digital Filter (FDF) technology and CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse) capabilities, the FCV 688 offers exceptional target separation and deep-water resolution.
Featuring a 6.5-inch color bonded LCD display, the FCV 688 ensures clear, sunlight-readable images of fish and underwater structures in all conditions.
