The EchoPilot FLS Platinum offers all the best features of the EchoPilot forward sonar range, now displayed on a full colour, wide screen 1/4 VGA display. The colour screen LCD was chosen after a summer of trials and offers the best contrast and viewability of all that we tried.

The benefits of colour, apart from being visually more pleasing, include being able to gain much more information about the nature of the sea bed. Stronger echoes give different colours. Different fields or types of information are shown in contrasting colours, enabling the navigator to assimilate information much faster.

Operation can be fully automatic with range and gain self adjusting, or the skipper can override either or both. A video output is now also available, enabling either a composite or super video compatible device to act as a repeater from a "black box" master.

GPS Repeater Screens are available for vessels with the master GPS located at a different station.

The EchoPilot FLS Platinum is the culmination of all the experience from 12 years of research and manufacture of forward looking sonars and is, we believe, the best sonar available regardless of price.

Fls Technology, how it works...

OTHER SOUNDERS ARE HISTORY! Most vertical depth sounders show a depth which is an average of what is behind the boat. At EchoPilot we believed that most boat owners would prefer to see hazardous obstructions in front of them!!

About EchoPilot

EchoPilot was founded in 1969 and our first product was a battery operated "flasher" echo sounder. Since then we have made hundreds of thousands of instruments, always specialising in forward looking sonar, depth sounders and speed logs.
