EchoPilot FLS 3D – 30 Degree Forward-Looking Sonar for Third-Party Displays

The EchoPilot FLS 3D 30 Degree Forward-Looking Sonar is a compact, streamlined alternative to the classic FLS 3D model, designed for boat owners seeking advanced sonar performance with simpler installation and a more focused forward view. Unlike the standard FLS 3D, which uses two transducers for a wide 60° horizontal scan, the FLS 3D 30 Degree operates with a single transducer, offering a 30° horizontal field of view while maintaining the same 200-meter forward range, 100-meter depth detection, and real-time 3D imaging. 

This model is ideal for vessels ranging from 29 to 60 feet that don’t require extremely wide coverage but still want commercial-level sonar capabilities with easier installation and a more affordable price point. Thanks to its Average Forward Depth technology, you can clearly see the average depth of the water ahead, providing crucial situational awareness far beyond what traditional depth sounders offer.

With its 20× depth-to-range ratio, the FLS 3D 30 Degree allows you to see 100 meters ahead in just 5 meters of water, performance unmatched by typical sonar systems.

Designed for plug-and-play simplicity, the FLS 3D 30 Degree connects to virtually any third-party chartplotter or monitor using standard HDMI or VGA video outputs. No proprietary software or adapters are required. It’s also fully compatible with the latest Furuno chartplotters, Nottrot screens, and Hatteland displays for easy integration into your existing navigation setup. 

Explore our categories below to find compatible Third-Party displays from Furuno, Nottrot, and Hatteland:

• Marine Monitors (Hatteland and Nottrot)
• Multifunctional Displays (Furuno)

Note: Although the FLS 3D integrates directly with Raymarine Axiom displays (via RJ45 “Raynet” cable), the variants listed here are solely for use with third-party screens. 

FEATURES

30° Horizontal Field of View:
Covers a wide 30° swath ahead of the bow, providing early detection of obstacles and terrain.

Average Forward Digital Depth Reading:
Calculates the mean depth ahead of the vessel, smoothing out irregularities for a stable, accurate reading.

200 m Forward & 100 m Depth Range:
Crisp 3D imaging down to 100 meters beneath and up to 200 meters ahead.

20× Depth-to-Range Ratio:
Exceptional shallow-water performance—see 100 meters ahead with only 5 meters of water below.

Universal Video Output – HDMI & VGA:
Simple integration with nearly any modern display—no additional hardware needed.

Rapid Update Rate (1–1.5 seconds):
Continuous updates keep you informed of changing underwater conditions in near real time.

High Angular Accuracy (~1.5°):
Delivers detailed imaging for clear identification of underwater structures and hazards.

Low Power Consumption (~20 W):
Operates on 12 V or 24 V DC systems, making it suitable for vessels with limited electrical capacity.

Windows-Based Embedded Processor:
Provides a stable, upgradable operating environment for seamless operation.

Simple, Self-Contained Installation:
Includes everything needed—transducer, processor, cabling, and keypad—ready for straightforward installation.
