Go Deeper

The powerful internal 1kW dual channel TruEcho CHIRP™ Fish Finder* built into the TZT10X/13X/16X is designed to operate across a wide range of frequencies, and is more than enough to meet the needs of most fishermen. But for those who want to go even deeper, the 2kW/3kW DFF3-UHD TruEcho CHIRP™ Network Fish Finder delivers the power to penetrate the deepest waters and find your catch. Plus, with the BT-5 Booster Box, you can boost that output power up to 5 or 10kW to take advantage of high-power transducer options that will unveil the deepest waters like you’ve never experienced before.

Built-In CHIRP Side-Scan

Furuno’s CHIRP Side-Scan for NavNet TZtouchXL scans both port and starboard, illuminating the shape of bottom structure in high definition. CHIRP Side-Scan reveals the shape of fish targets and fish-hoarding structure to each side of your vessel. CHIRP from 230kHz or 445kHz center frequencies with thru-hull, paired, or transom mount transducer options.

CHIRP Side-Scan is built into the TZT10X/13X/16X, and can be accessed by any TZtouchXL MFD on the network.

Fish-It/Drift-It

Tapping a location on the chart, such as a pinnacle, wreck, charted artificial reef, or even a hot fishing spot on the Fish Finder or DFF-3D Multibeam Sonar screen, lets you make a temporary "fishing go-to point." The Fish-It point creates dynamic range rings, a course line between the point and the boat, and a temporary track line to the spot.

Once a Fish-It point has been selected, the Drift-It feature can set the perfect drift. Drift-It will save you time and fuel by eliminating the guesswork in determining vessel drift in challenging wind and current conditions.

Normal down-sounding Fish Finders have a beam angle of 40˚ or less. But with the DFF-3D Multibeam Sonar, you'll see a 120-degree swath, offering seafloor coverage up to 3X water depth. Plus, with the power of the DFF-3D, you can see fish directly below the boat 300m (nearly 1,000ft). When you match this with the DFF3-UHD TruEcho CHIRP^TM Fish Finder, you’ll have the ultimate fishing machine!

The DFF-3D's versatile operating modes give you a better understanding of fish targets than any normal Fish Finder can deliver. The 3D sounder history provides an intuitive and easy-to-understand 3D image of the seafloor, along with fish school icons - useful when selecting a fishing hot spot or assessing the seabed condition. Triple-Beam mode tells you not only the depth but also the direction (port/down/starboard) of fish targets. Cross Section display the real-time sea column echo in a 120˚ swath, and Side-Scan displays the shape and structure of targets both port and starboard. 

PBG

Quickly create your own PBG (Personal Bathymetric Generator) Shaded Relief Maps using TZtouchXL and the DFF-3D. Bottom images are drawn with shaded relief, depth contours, and variable colors, making it easy to identify hidden structure and ridges that hold fish in a simple, easy-to-interpret presentation. Multiple color palettes are available, including the ability to show contour lines only.

Follow-It

Leverage your recorded PBG data by creating a constant depth route from the PBG map, allowing you to select Follow-It from the menu and send it to your NAVpilot Autopilot. By following specific depth contours, you can keep your baits at the same level as the fish while trolling without constantly adjusting the reels. Having your bait at the correct depth is critical to catching fish in areas where tide and currents flow along structure where gamefish concentrate.
