Furuno FCV-1150 12.1” Fish Finder – Serious Offshore Sounder | Supply & Installation NSW

If you’re chasing proper bottom detail offshore and don’t want menus buried three levels deep, the Furuno FCV-1150 is a ripper bit of gear.

This is a dedicated 12.1” colour LCD fish finder built for fishos who care about what’s under the boat — not just what looks flash on the dash. Clean returns, strong bottom lock and serious transmit power when paired with the right transducer.

Why Fishos Still Love the FCV-1150

• Big, bright 12.1” display you can read in full sun
• Selectable transmit power (up to 3kW depending on setup)
• Wide frequency range for serious depth work
• Excellent target separation on reef and structure
• Manual gain control for those who actually know how to tune a sounder

No Fluff. Just Solid Sonar.

The FCV-1150 isn’t trying to be everything at once. It’s built to be a proper sounder. That’s why a lot of experienced offshore fishos still prefer a dedicated unit like this instead of relying purely on an all-in-one MFD.

Matched with the right transducer for your hull and how you fish, this unit will show you bait, reef edges and bottom hardness clearly — whether you’re working local grounds off Port Macquarie or running wider along the NSW coast.

Installed Properly — Because That’s Where Performance Comes From

At Shotgun Marine in Port Macquarie, we don’t just bolt it in and send you off.

We sort the right transducer, clean cable runs, correct power supply setup and then tune it properly on the water. That’s what makes the difference between “yeah it works” and “how good is that bottom”.

We service Port Macquarie, the Mid North Coast, Coffs Harbour, Taree, Newcastle and up to the Gold Coast (by arrangement). We also ship Australia-wide if you’re organising your own install. See our full Furuno range here.

FCV-1150 – Common Questions

Is the FCV-1150 good for offshore fishing around NSW?

Absolutely. It’s a proven offshore sounder and performs well along the NSW coastline when paired with the right transducer and installed properly.

Does it support high power transducers?

Yes. Depending on your setup, the FCV-1150 can support higher power outputs, which is ideal for deeper water work and serious offshore fishing.

Why choose a dedicated fish finder instead of an MFD?

A dedicated sounder like the FCV-1150 often gives cleaner, more focused sonar performance. Plenty of serious fishos still prefer a standalone unit for bottom work.

Do you install these in Port Macquarie?

Yes. Shotgun Marine is an authorised Furuno dealer based in Port Macquarie NSW. We supply, install and tune marine electronics properly for real-world offshore use.
