Withe the New FCV 800 out and available it would seem that the 588 is or will be discontinued ? Any Info on this ? If it hasnt officially been discontinued , any insight s to when that might happen ?
The FCV588 was a great fish finder and it had a very good run, but the FCV800 is a total upgrade up from the FCV588 with several nice features like the following:
The new FCV800 can drive either CHIRP or dual-frequency CW (Continuous Wave) transducers.
It has Bottom Discrimination for Rock/Sand/Gravel/Mud assessment
it has ACCU-Fish for use in fish sizing and depth calculation functions.
It can output Bottom Hardness for use with external plotters like as TZ Professional and Olex
It features a new Color Expansion for echo colors to help easily identify fish from seabed.
It has White Line Feature for fish that may be lying near the bottom or displaying the top edge of the bottom in white to clearly show bottom structure.
It has new Palettes with Sunlight and Yellow colors
