$2,880.00
Furuno FE700 IMO Echo Sounder is an IMO-compliant navigation echo sounder with a 6.5-inch color display, 600W output, and selectable 50/200 kHz operation. It is built for commercial vessels that need compliant depth monitoring, logging, and bridge-system integration.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Furuno FE700 IMO Echo Sounder
What kind of onboard use is Furuno FE700 IMO Echo Sounder built for?
Furuno FE700 IMO Echo Sounder is an IMO-compliant navigation echo sounder with a 6.5-inch color display, 600W output, and selectable 50/200 kHz operation. It is aimed at vessels that need compliant depth information rather than general fishfinding features where dependable sonar presentation and bottom tracking are important.
Which feature gives this model its main fishfinding advantage?
This unit centers on dual-frequency 50/200 kHz operation for balancing shallow detail and deeper coverage. The result is a focused sonar display for bottom detail, fish marks, and underwater structure rather than a screen built around unrelated multifunction features.
What connectivity does this display support at the helm?
It lists NMEA 0183 support, which helps this unit fit into a broader onboard electronics arrangement. That is useful when the sonar display is only one part of the helm setup.
How does this model fit into real onboard fishing use?
This model suits commercial and SOLAS-class vessels that need a compliant navigation echo sounder. It also suits bridge installations focused on depth monitoring, record keeping, and under-keel clearance awareness; the stated product data also includes Display 6.5-inch high-brightness color TFT LCD in the stated product data.
