MarkFish GPS & Sounder Compatibility
This page lists chartplotter and GPS models that accept NMEA 0183 waypoint input (WPL), along with Furuno sounder compatibility guidance for MarkFish.
MarkFish is designed to help compatible systems receive waypoint marking data correctly. Please always confirm wiring, settings and model-specific input support before installation.
Compatibility guide: “Yes” means the model is listed as accepting NMEA 0183 waypoint input (WPL). “No” means it is listed as not accepting that input on the supplied compatibility sheets.
Furuno Sounder Compatibility
MarkFish is designed to integrate with Furuno sounder modules and standalone units that support NMEA 0183 output.
This includes a broad range of Furuno fishfinder and sounder models, including black box modules and display units commonly used across recreational and commercial vessels.
- Furuno sounder modules and black box systems
- Furuno FCV series sounders including FCV-295 and FCV-1150
- Furuno FCV-585, FCV-587 and FCV-588
- Furuno 600 series including FCV-600, FCV-620 and FCV-627
- Newer Furuno FCV models where suitable NMEA 0183 output functionality is available
MarkFish works by utilising the NMEA 0183 output from compatible Furuno units to trigger waypoint creation on connected chartplotters.
As Furuno continues releasing newer FCV models, compatibility is generally maintained where NMEA 0183 output remains available and correctly configured.
Important: Compatibility depends on the exact model, wiring arrangement and NMEA 0183 output settings. Not all installations are identical, and setup may vary depending on the vessel’s electronics system.
