“ACCU-FISH ™ ” identies individual sh
with size and sh mark function
Recognizes individual or multiple sh instantaneously
ACCU-FISH™ is a revolutionary sh size assessment function of the FCV-587. In
order to assess individual sh size, the echo strength from the sh needs to be
computed and turned into sh size display on the screen. It can detect the sh size of
10 to 199 cm, in the depth of 2 to 100 m.
Displaying sh size or sh depth
Activating the ACCU-FISH™ from the menu, FCV-587 displays sh size on the individual
sh echo. When the ACCU-FISH™ is used concurrently with sh marks, it greatly helps
anglers to identify sh targets on the display. You may also select and display the target
depth instead of sh size, which helps to see how far the sh is from the boat.
Displaying sh marks
The sh mark can be utilized to display on individual sh echoes when detected.
It helps beginners to identify the sh targets on the display for a more fun shing experience.
Fish mark is selectable from two types of sh
symbol, circle and square. The sh symbol, displayed
in two different sizes (Large: over 50 cm, Small: 10
to 49 cm), is a great help for anglers to identify sh
targets. Circle and square indentify targets without
hiding sh echo.
Striped
Solid
Circle
Square
Circles and sh size are displayed on sh
echoes. When in dual frequencies mode, you
can set the mark displayed on both or either
frequency screen.
Bottom Discrimination feature
The FCV-587’s Bottom Discrimination feature enables the sh nder to indicate if the major
component of the bottom is rocks, gravel, sand, mud.
The Bottom Discrimination Function provides you with valuable information to locate rich
shing grounds, while boosting your catch of the day.
White Line function distinguishes sh from bottom
The white line function helps you distinguish bottom sh from the bottom by changing the strongest
signal color to white. This function is not only useful discriminating bottom sh but is also valuable
for judging sh school density. The setting range is 0%-100%,
in intervals of 1%. The higher the value the thicker the line.
Please keep the following in mind when using the Bottom Discrimination Sounder:
1) Use at a depth of 5 m - 100 m.
2) Use transducer in transom mount or thru-hull mount.
3) To show a consistent display of the actual bottom, set the range display
of the sh nder screen to “auto”.
4) Enter the ship’s draft value.
5) Use a ship speed of 10 kn or less.
6)
In some instances, bottom component indicated on the FCV-587 may
differ from its actual bottom structure.
Please read the operation manual carefully before using this feature.
The standard graphic display mode shows the most
probable bottom composition by graphic or four colors.

Screen shot from sh reef in lake:
Many sh marks appear on the screen in the thick weed bed.
The white line function helps distinguish bottom and weed from
the actual sh.
In some instances, sh size indicated on the FCV-587 may differ from its actual size.
Please read the operation manual carefully before using this feature.

Post-Processing Gain Control
With conventional gain controls, changes are made for new
echoes only when a change in the gain setting is applied.
With the FCV-587’s Post-Processing Gain Control, changes
in the gain setting are applied to new echoes as well as all
of the echoes already on the screen. Because the changes
are applied to both new and existing returns, you will be
able to quickly and easily nd the right gain setting for your
conditions.
Fish Alarm function
When sh echoes come in the area which you set above the bottom, beeps sound and the alarm icon ashes
at the top right corner of the screen. Furthermore, an integrated alarm setting is also available that can be set
by every and each condition, including water depth, target depth, water temp, bottom component, etc.
Bright LCD for excellent in sunlight viewability
Bright 800 cd/m2LCD gives excellent readability even in bright sunlight.
FCV-587 has a LCD screen which does not "black out" when
wearing polarized sunglasses at certain angles, providing no
loss of visibility while shing.
