I have fished the ***** aggs in 112m of water and still used 200. Use 200KHz for your fishing unless really deep. I have this unit in my boat and very happy with it.ġ. your picture will be far more complicated and cluttered. dont get fooled into thinking your picture will be the same as the simulation. Dont expect too much from your pic.Īlso your simulation is exactly that a simulation. most bottom fish are hiding in there holes. Just because there are no arches doent mearn there are no fish. your should be in the right direction thenĪlso make sure you dont have any fish filters on small med large. the settings wont be too far off someone who sets manually. One of the best tips i can give you is reset to factory settings. Only because i have been interpreting my picture correctly. ive had my sounder for four years and only now have i been fishing with some success. I know exactly what you are talking about. in fact if your in say 40mtr of water you wont read much at all unless you zoom in. That's about it, good luck.įirst of all you must expect in perth that you wont read solid fish arches. Halibut are a little more difficult as they look a lot like rock fish on the bottom, they don't show flat but a bnig red cloud when you are in shallow water. WSB show up as long blue marks and squid show up as little blue dots, barracuda show up as long skinny red marks and tuna show up as giant red blocks when On zoom down to about 200 ft. Anythin with an air bladder will show blue dots in the bright red that is fish. It just takes time to learn to identify the species on the unit. It doesn't work well in direct sunlight until you adjust the brill and hue, but the bottom lock works as well as any fishfinder I have had.
#Manual furuno fcv 600l how to#
It takes awhile to learn how to read it, you just have to take time on the water to learn it. Have had the 600 for 3 years now, I too don't quite understand a lot of it but I do know that when I run it on total automatic it works as well as any of the fishfinders out there. after you start doing this then you might have to come back and tweak your gain a little but you will(should) see an instant clearing up of the clutter on top. Now go into your noise reduction settingsand try nr-1 first then nr-2 until you get a satisfactory image on your top of the water column. your machine is now optimized to see whatever you want to see. example- 1f you are planning on fishing 20 ft set the scale to 40 ft,50ft etc and turn your gain up until you see a faint return under the bottom (ghost bottom mark) now set you machine back to the correct depth setting and leave the gain alone( if it is a little too much clutter you can turn the gain back a tad/ but not much. try this- set your gain first by going to 2X the scale you normally/plan on using like ahi said. Hey joe, definitely not air then- i looked at furunos web site and according to the specs you have 6 noise reduction settings on the 600l.
It doesn't sounds given that case that I could be getting air or turbulence beneath the transducer.ĭo you agree that the above test dismisses an air issue? If I am lucky I could see a 1' window of true return between the surface clutter and the true bottom. Under those conditions I still get 3-5' of the topwater being a solid return. I get the same results **** the outboard out of the water and the boat sitting, tied up at a dock in 5' of water **** close to no water current?
#Manual furuno fcv 600l install#
That was really my first guess (possibly install related) however everything checks out good for the install.ĭoes the following information dismiss it as being installation related: Try that and turn your gain to the lowest setting and the other thing is that you are getting air under your p-66 either from prop wash, underwater fitting, barnacle in front of it, face is not low enough in relation to the bottom of the boat (installation). Mine will go down to about 3 ft and thats it but much shallower than that and i am bumping bottom !!! Those are all the things I can think of,Good luck- let us know if you figure it out. Somewhere in the furuno literature it will tell you that the unit is not very good in shallow water- not certain on the 600 but on the 582 it has a noise limiter that you can adjust up as was previously said, try that and turn your gain to the lowest setting and the other thing is that you are getting air under your p-66 either from prop wash, underwater fitting, barnacle in front of it, face is not low enough in relation to the bottom of the boat (installation). good luckĪny other suggestions or disputing my 3-5' of clutter at the top of the screen appreciated.
