New Furuno Sonar

[Anonymous]

With the boat show season approaching when will Furuno announce their new sounder offerings?

I have been using an FCV 585/TM260 for several years and am considering upgrading to CHIRP and Down Vu. I don't want to use a "Black Box" connected to a chart plotter as I prefer a stand-alone sonar.

Thanks SB

Shark Bait,
We will be adding to our sounder line up in 2015 but it sounds like what is coming is different than what you are looking for.

Snips,
In reference to which part mentioned? The CHIRP/downvu part or the standalone sounder? Also, is this an "add" or "upgrade" to the lineup? Care to elaborate?

Thanks.

Any chance of a stand alone, dual channel CHIRP unit like a CHIRP capable FCV295?

Until we are ready to release a new product we do not divulge any details on a public forum. Sorry, but this is our policy.

Melville: OK Then when will Furuno introduce their new offerings? At the Miami show, mid-summer, next fall?

I am currently using a Furuno sounder but would like more capability. I would like to at least consider Furuno in my upgrade decision process but have no idea when they will announce anything. I know you are just the messenger but the messenger is not helping much.

Shark Bait-

When we introduce products is dependent on when they are ready and approved by our parent company, Furuno Electric Company. I am sorry but I/we can not provide any further information about future products.
