Here are a few photos of the unit and the FVC 581 info from the Furuno web site.
The Furuno FCV581 is a cost-effective, compact single-frequency color video sounder for pleasure boats and smaller fishing vessels. It features versatile display modes, friendly operation and flexible installation. Echoes are presented in 8 or 16 colors, or monochrome amber with 8-level quantization on the 8" screen. Background color for echogram can be selected from light blue, dark blue or black for optimum viewing day and night.
Display modes include Normal, Marker Zoom, Bottom Lock, Bottom Zoom, Nav and A-Scope. Zoom mode expands an area specified by the zoom marker. In Marker Zoom mode, the marker can be freely moved to expand a section of interest.
The FCV581 provides an Auto mode for hands-free operation. It automatically switches depth range and optimizes gain in changing depth conditions.
The stylish cabinet allows flexible installation, fitting nicely on a table top or overhead mount, and is designed to accommodate flush mounting.
