Various display modes
​Including Shaded reliefs, 3D and Satellite views.

Built-in CHIRP Fishfinder

Unmatched detail with TruEcho CHIRP
The high level of detail available with TruEcho CHIRP technology helps to distinguish fish schools, even when close to the sea bed. Fish can be observed with a very high resolution and are displayed in a distinct boomerang shape. The clear presentation marks individual game fish and bait fish, even when tightly schooled together.

ACCU-FISH and Bottom Discrimination with RezBoost
With FURUNO's RezBoost data processing technology, fish schools and echoes are shown with high resolution while you can assess fish size and bottom composition thanks to ACCU-FISH and Bottom Discrimination functions. Additionally, ACCU-FISH icons and colours can be freely customised according to the size and depth of the targeted fish.

Wireless Radar Connection

DRS4W 1st Watch Wireless Radar
The GP-1971F is connectable to the 1st Watch Wireless Radar (Output Power 4 kW) (sold separately) giving your Chart Plotter a major upgrade in accuracy and safety.

The Transducer
The Airmar P66 Transom Mount Transducer is the best performing and most popular transom-mount multisensor in the market for many reasons. Foremost, the 50 kHz and 200 kHz, oversized, ceramic element produces focused beams highlighting detail in the water column and on the bottom surface.

Because of its hydrodynamic shape, water coming off the transom flows smoothly under the transducer face. This results in accurate, high-speed, depth and speed readings and clear display images. Going a step further, the P66 Multisensor also incorporates a patented noise-suppression system. The result is a 5 to 8 knot (6 to 9 MPH) improvement over standard construction through improved shielding from noise and vibration. The plastic release bracket lets the P66 rotate up to protect the housing if struck by and object while underway.

Great engineering
The Airmar P66 is well engineered inside with a built in shield that reduces the effects of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. It also comes with a mounting bracket that allows the transducer to be removed without the use of tools that could damage it during storage and trailering. The P66 also features special configurations such as depth, speed, and temperature.
