VISIONALITY: RAYMARINE SEEING IS
So what exactly is that ... Fish? Rocks perhaps? A large stand of weed? A wreck maybe? Interpreting fish-finder echoes
can be an art in itself. Years of experience and intimate knowledge of a specific area of underwater topography can take the guesswork out of that interpretation, but what if you are fishing strange waters and unfamiliar species; wouldn’t it make sense to use something to help you ‘see’ exactly what’s under your boat? Raymarine sees innovation as the
key to the highly-competitive Marine electronics market, so much so that the last two years have seen an almost continuous wave of introductions and improvements in both hardware and software throughout the Raymarine range and specifically in the fishing arena. Last Spring saw Raymarine take a
new direction in technology with the launch of the Dragonfly® - a high- performance, dual-channel CHIRP sonar and GPS combination that has taken the fishing world by storm; bringing the power and crisp detail of advanced CHIRP DownVision™ sonar to inland and coastal anglers at a very affordable price. Dragonfly® utilises an all-
BELIEVING Raymarine goes predator hunting with CHIRP DownVision™
in-one dual-channel CHIRP transducer containing both CHIRP DownVision™ and CHIRP fish- targeting sonar elements in one housing. DownVision™ produces a 60° side-to-side and 1.4° fore to aft beam, enabling anglers to see underwater bottom structure with extraordinary clarity. The second element provides a conical-shaped beam for imaging fish targets. CHIRP technology continuously transmits across a wide spectrum of sonar signals - the result is much higher fidelity sonar returns in both DownVision™ and fish-targeting sonar modes. So, a year on from that first
introduction, Raymarine has integrated CHIRP DownVision™ capability across the board with new formats and a wider range of transducers; aSeries touch-screen MFDs (multifunction displays) have the technology built-in in the a68 and a78 models; single display or networked cSeries, eSeries and gS Series systems can easily add CHIRP DownVision™ functionality in module form with the CP100 sonar module plugging directly into the network; and the latest addition to the range revisits the original
Dragonfly in a new 7” screen format – Dragonfly7 with a best-in-class 7” widescreen display and the added advantage of optional overhead mounting – ideal for smaller fishing boats. Casual angler or tournament
professional - with display sizes ranging from 6 to 16-inches and many advanced features, there is a Raymarine system for every boat and budget. For the inaugural World Predator Classic make sure you’re using Raymarine – you wouldn’t want to miss out on the winning predator.
