Echopilot FLS3D 30 Degree Forward Looking Sonar

The FLS 3D – 30 Degree displays a 3D visualization of the underwater seabed ahead of the boat giving the captain ease of mind when navigating poorly or uncharted water. This new and improved version of the FLS 3D Forward Looking Sonar utilises groundbreaking single transducer Forward Looking Sonar technology resulting in commercial level FLS performance at a fraction of its cost, now any boat owner can get the best FLS on the market, whether a leisure craft owner or commercial operator. 

This system is Raymarine Axiom ready and is easily connected to the raynet via an RJ45 to Raynet cable. Once connected, the EchoPilot app will appear on the Axiom Display allowing users to see forward looking sonar on their display in real-time. Offering dual viewing of sea charts and forward looking sonar at the same time, the display can also be used in split screen for the ultimate convenience. When the FLS 3D – 30 Degree is connected to the Axiom display, users will benefit from full 360 degree rotation of the 3D image via touch, as well as the zoom function. This will give a closer view of how the seabed terrain looks ahead and potential hazards are shown in real-time.

The unit scans the seabed in a 30 degree horizontal plane and 90 degree in the vertical plane, delivering 20 x depth ratio, meaning you can see 100 meters ahead with only 5 meters of water underneath your boat! In addition the FLS 3D – 30 Degree has additional Average Forward Depth functionality showing the average depth of the water ahead, based on the sonar readings. This is an extremely important reading and is a massive improvement on a normal depth sounder that only gives you the depth directly underneath the vessel.

The transducer is 5 inch with three different types of skin fittings to ensure they will match any type of hull and construction.
