Furuno GP1971F 9 GPS/Chartplotter/Fishfinder 50/200, 600W, 1kW, Single Channel & CHIRP

The Furuno GP1971F is a 9-inch multi-touch GPS chartplotter and fishfinder with single-channel CHIRP, conventional 50/200kHz sonar, and 600W/1kW power options. No transducer is included, while C-MAP 4D compatibility and wireless radar connection for the DRS4W provide expansion options. It is suited to buyers who want to choose Furuno sonar and chart hardware for a custom installation.

Who Is This For?

This model suits coastal fishing boats, small cruisers, and center consoles that want a 9-inch Furuno touchscreen with flexible sonar power. It is useful for buyers who already understand their transducer and chart requirements.

It is not ideal for buyers seeking a complete ready-to-fish bundle because no transducer is included. The 800 x 480 resolution also provides less detail than larger Full HD MFDs.

Warranty & Support

Furuno provides a 2-year standard warranty. The supplied specifications do not state warranty exclusions or service procedures.

The GP1971F is the custom-installation choice over the bundled Garmin 7-inch unit, offering a larger 9-inch display and flexible 600W/1kW single-channel sonar. Its C-MAP 4D compatibility and DRS4W radar connection provide room to configure the system around your boat. The trade-off is that both the transducer and chart media must be planned separately, and the 800 x 480 screen is less detailed than modern Full HD displays.
