Furuno FE700 IMO Echo Sounder

Overview Furuno FE700 IMO Echo Sounder

Furuno FE700 IMO Echo Sounder is a dedicated navigation echo sounder built for vessels that need compliant depth information rather than general fishfinding features. It combines a 6.5-inch color TFT LCD with 600W RMS and Selectable 50 kHz or 200 kHz operation for dependable under-keel monitoring.

This model is aimed at commercial vessels that need compliant under-keel clearance monitoring and depth recording. The source data highlights IMO and SOLAS compliant depth monitoring with 24-hour logging and shipboard alarms, making it suitable for bridge installations where approved operation, logging, and alarm functions are part of normal vessel procedures.

Key Features

• IMO-compliant operation: Supports vessels that must meet formal carriage and depth recording requirements.
• 24-hour memory logging: Keeps recent depth history available for review without relying on paper records.
• Dedicated safety alarms: Provides clear warnings for shallow water, lost bottom, and power failure conditions.
• Dual-frequency support: Allows the system to be matched to the required transducer and operating profile.
• Integration-ready data interface: Supports output to bridge systems such as radar, ECDIS, and VDR.

Applications

• Commercial and SOLAS-class vessels that need a compliant navigation echo sounder.
• Bridge installations focused on depth monitoring, record keeping, and under-keel clearance awareness.
• Shipboard navigation systems where integration with other approved equipment is required.
