Eagle FishElite® 640c – elite colour sonar/GPS+WAAS combo

Eagle’s new FishElite® 640c full-size colour recording sonar/chartplotter boasts all the versatility and performance of more expensive units at a very affordable price.

An ultra-bright 12.5cm (diagonal), 256-colour, enhanced TFT sunlight-readable display allows wide-angle viewing, while the super-sharp 640x480 pixel resolution, high-speed screen updates and Eagle’s COLORLINE™ function allow for pinpoint identification of structure, thermoclines and fish.

The unit’s 1500 watts peak-to-peak (100 watts RMS) power output gives positive depth sounding and fish fishing down to 245m, and a compact 200kHz high-speed Skimmer® transducer (with built-in temperature sensor) allows superior readability even while underway. Fish detection coverage is out to a wide 60º.

Among an impressive list of standard features are the exceptional FishReveal™ and HyperScroll™ functions. FishReveal™ identifies sonar returns from fish hiding in structure including weedbeds, thermoclines and surface clutter, while HyperScroll™ allows for manual adjustment of the ping speed of the transducer for greater fish detection at high speeds.

GPS information is derived via a 12-parallel channel GPS+WAAS receiver (external EGC-12W GPS+WAAS antenna module) and very accurate plotting via MMC Navionics charting. Up to 100 routes / 1000 waypoints / 1000 event markers and 100 saveable and retraceable plot trails with up to 10,000 points per trail provide superior navigation, using 40 map zoom ranges from 0.03-6400km.

Simple to operate, with easy-to-follow and remember menu functions, the FishElite® 640c has a back-up memory which saves customised settings, is fully sealed and waterproof, and comes with a full two-year warranty.
