The Furuno CH250 is the sport fisherman's dream machine, designed for boats 40 feet and up. This high-performance searchlight sonar displays fish and underwater objects on a sunlight viewable 10.4" color LCD TFT display. It has the ability to rapidly scan a full 360 degrees around the boat or just specified sectors.
There are eight operational modes to choose from. The full circle/vertical slice mode finds fish targets and bottom structure all around the vessel, with a vertical slice display at the same time. The vertical slice mode gives you a fore and aft, surface to surface, expanded view of fish school distribution on the selected bearing. You can set it for a depth sounder mode, which has a tilt and train capability for forward or side looking. It is even stabilized against the boats motion.
