Vessel Systems

  • Furuno U.S.A., Inc., S. San Francisco, Calif., has published a 28-page catalog of their complete 1985 product line. It covers a broad range of marine electronics for commercial fishermen, work boat operators and yachtsmen.

    The catalog is arranged by product category, covering radars, echosounders, sonars, radiotelephones, and nav-aids. Each product is illustrated and briefly described with a full specification section to enable purchasers to choose among the many models available.

    A number of new products have been added this year, including the FR-800D series of daylight-bright digital radars, new 12- and 16-inch heavy commercial radars, a supercompact yacht radar, a low-cost/ high-performance color video sounder, new net recorder equipment and a completely revised section showing how Furuno products can be interconnected into a virtually unlimited range of integrated vessel systems.
