Welcome

 

 

JFC-7050

 

Echo  Sounder  /  Fish  Finder  (called  Echo  Sounder)

 

opens a new chapter of performance 

and integration in vessel navigation system display and management. Whether you are a Cruiser or 
Sport fisherman or both, JFC-7050 gives you the information you need. 
 
 

CAUTION

 

JFC-7050 is Color LCD Charting Systems employs the latest in proven technology to provide accurate 
navigation information. The Plotter functions of JFC-7050 are totally dependent upon the capability of 
the navigation source to provide accurate position information. This device is only an aid to navigation. 
It  should  be  used  in  conjunction  with  all  other  navigation  accuracy.  For  safety,  always  resolve  any 
uncertainty before continuing navigation. 
 
 

CAUTION

 

The  performance  of  LCD  displays  are  degraded  by  continuous  direct  exposure  to  ultraviolet  rays.
