That's Eric, our Senior Product Manager. We like to call him the mad scientist! 😂 He has so much knowledge in that brain, sometimes it's hard to keep up with him!
Thank you, we are really excited to introduce NavNet TZtouchXL series! The ease of use, matched with our amazing sensors, makes this system a piece of art.
Vicky just gets sweeter and more fun every day and Rico gets stronger and more confident (louder) I hope your boat gets finished soon or you guys will explode. Thanks for sharing. I just love you both.
Agree the gentleman in green is blowing my mind. This gear has come so far for private vessels. You can never have enough information to paint the sea floor . I watched this video now 4 times and still puck up easter eggs of information
Welcome to the PNW! I've been a commercial dealer for Furuno for years, amazing company, amazing gear, and their post-sales support is second to none... You guys will be happy with the gear!
The biggest boat I've ever "captained" is a bass boat, but it's unbelievable how much I have learned through this series of Furuno videos. Not only did the Furuno folks easily explain their technology, they did it in such a way that I picked up on bigger boat concepts that I'd have probably never learned about just sitting on a tiny-by-comparison bass boat. They're truly an amazing company. Everyone involved in the NautiGuys build keeps me interested and makes me want to learn more and more!
Thanks! BTW, we do have some smaller products that might be the perfect match for your boat. Then again, a 24" MFD would look mighty impressive on your bass boat!!!👊
2 big radars, 3 huge horns, all you need is 2 oversize anchors and you can show up in any marina 😀 All joking aside, Furuno has created awesome equipment, making it very easy for the operator to understand what is going on and how to program it. I love the idea of a self correcting rudder in following seas. Don't have that on our boat and that sometimes can create very interesting maneuvers. Very interesting video. Thanks.
in the classroom was really interesting but in the boat in real time, WOW, what an Amazing product/system. TOTAL Game changer from small boating to commercial fishing to yachts.. Ricco is going to have a blast playing with that after he sets up his music.. wait, does it do Music too?
I live in WA. I will make a trip down to Furuno in Camas, to chck out all this new equipment and decide what I want on my yacht ....... if I ever get one.
I knew rain can interfere with radar, as a recreational sailer. It’s scary when you can’t see what’s out there! Doppler is a term used in many fields. A good example to understand Doppler is the siren of a fire truck. As the fire truck gets closer to you, the sound has a higher pitch and sounds more frequent. This is because the sound wave is getting shorter as it gets closer. If you notice, once the fire truck passes you, the pitch gets lower and doesn’t seem as frequent because the sound wave is being sent while the truck is moving away from you. It takes the sound longer to get to you and return. The sound wave gets wider as the truck moves away. It is going slower. Try throwing a ball to someone behind you from the back of a pickup truck. It takes long if it gets there at all. If you are moving toward the person, the ball will get there much faster. The radar probably knows how quickly the return of the signal is by how fast it gets back. If the vessel on radar is moving away, the antennae knows this because each radar signal sent out takes longer to get back to the antennae. I’m sure the radar can sense this in milliseconds. The opposite is true if a vessel is coming toward you. The radar sends a signal, it bounces off and the radar knows how fast it came back. If the time to return the signal gets shorter then the vessel is getting closer. This is used by telescopes with measuring whether a star or galaxy’s light is moving toward us or away. It is used in medicine too and probably many other technologies. The difference between a signal moving away or moving toward you is known as “doppler shift”. I hope didn’t make this harder to understand.
@@FurunoMarineElectronics just think im in Atlanta Ga. Smallest dobbler ive seen is size of apartment in dome south of me. Your company has now put it in a briefcase or smaller. I could put it in a bowrider, sportfisher or big yacht. What an absolute game changer. Plus the option to upload weather info with weather stations live to make there forcasts and weather info even more accurate. Even better dual dopple on storm chasers with even more info and live update to national weather and noah. WoW!
Awesome Equipment to work with on Your B75.. The MFD is similar to what we have in Aircraft that shows your course and also wind direction, Speed across the ground and shows how much the Aircraft is turned into wind etc... Incredible to see how much Help is Available... Well Done Victoria and Rico, Huge Congratulations 👏🏽👏🏽 Paul in "OZ".
Two watts is RIDICULOUS for that level of capability. Holy shit. Also, Furuno: can you guys PLEASE start designing automotive infotainment systems? THIS is how GUIs should operate.
NautiGuys, this video should be viewed by “ALL” boat captains that have a need for this technology. Furuno technological development is definitely leading edge for the industry!!! What a great podcast. Thank you, Furuno and NautiGuys.
25,000 hours is only 2 years. Sometimes you can turn off the radar, but if you want an alarm of an incoming threat (automated/assisting watch) while at anchor, you'll still want it on. If you did turn it off for 12 hours a day, that's about 5 years.
I am an echocardiographer by profession. Alot of this radar stuff, especially "doppler" Is exactly what we do daily in our jobs when looking at the heart with echo. We use doppler in order to see leaking valves, or holes in the heart walls. For us, it represents itself as red and blue on our screen, which shows directionality of blood flow. I find this very interesting because its basically what I do for a living in human hearts.
So impressive what actual technik is possible to simplify your live. But allways remind on the guy with the RV which mixed up the cruise control with an Autopilot 😁😂.
Wonderful videos. Really enjoyed learning about the products being manufactured by Furuno. Victoria, looking at how intuitive the displays are It may cut down on the manual reading for you.
So there I was, clicked on NautiGuys and got an entirely different channel than what I was expecting. Some guy named Rico and his large package. Was expecting to learn about boats!
We hope everyone enjoyed a peek at the new NavNet TZtouchXL Multifunction displays both in the classroom and on the water with Capt. Mike Genoun. Thanks you Rico and Victoria for this great opportunity to show you all that high tech doesn't have to mean hard to use!
I am so excited for you both. I am blown away on what this radar can do. Tech is amazing. Is this protected from a solar flares? I also watched the NavNet link. Looks as though you both have some learning to do. Good instructions on how to use it.
13:45 and here I thought the sonar was going to be using one of Rico's subwoofers. Seriously though, it sounds like they've applied the principle of phased array radar to sonar. Maybe this is old hat in the industry and I just hadn't heard of it before, but it's pretty impressive.
31:28 I learned anchoring without that tech and to still not disturb my future neighbors. It's fairly simple. You rock up in an anchorage, pick a spot and ask one of your future neighbors how much chain he has out. If you deem it enough to be safe, you check the direction the other boats are pointing, go in that direction, drop your anchor the length of your neighbors chain ahead, then reverse back to your picked position. When the wind changes direction, all boats will swing in roughly the same pattern around their anchors, so you should be safe. If the other guy has too little chain out for you to feel safe, pick a different spot, preferably far away from him as he might end up dragging... ;-)
During marketing must by now understand that “light” is not an appropriated name. Consider to re-name a d market “smart line” leisure line” private line” or such.
Would love to understand who to contact for a new built in Europe as the european websites confuse me, Love to have a complete system with what you have shown on a 70ft cat (not a light one 🙂)@@FurunoMarineElectronics
I was in Navy Fire Control Tech School back in 1970 and that compared to today's electronics.................. wow.... and back in the 80's I had to look for a pay phone when I was out driving cross country....then I had one of the first L.A. Cellular cell phones( like a small suitcase ).......... yeh , the world has and is changing day by day.
So what Victoria is saying is 'Thanks Furuno, I'm the captain now.' Get Furuno and lose a husband. Demoted from co-star to deckboy, not even deckhand, lead deckhand or bosun. Just back up engineer and deckboy. We all know Rico is irreplaceable. He is the captain and a successful husband, businessman, cameraman, and comic relief. No Furuno could replace him.
I believe it was discussed on another Chanel, but does the sensors on both the top and bottom of boat get calibrated to say where the bottom of the boat is. I understand you will have a depth type sensor, but is the gps calibrated to the bottom of the boat depth. Or doesn’t it matter? I assume the company building your boat would sort that out. It might have been discussed on Sailing Ruby Rose ll or possibly on Life On The Hulls. Love the show and what is going into your boat (ship), as well as how it is being planned and put together. But your touring other boat factories,and places like on this show is pretty amazing too.
Yes, the sensors get fully calibrated and set for each individual boat. The hull displacement is entered in to they system to assist when calculating the AI Routes to ensure you navigate at safe depths. As always, as the captain and navigator, you want to make sure you verify all of your routes for safety.
This is so cool! I love the tech side of things. My personal experience is much more in the internet, tv, fixed wireless, connections, etc. Have you guys sorted out options for all of this yet? I love the topic.
When I buy a yacht, if it does not have Furuno, I will change it. All this new technology is great, but I hope that people on the water will not forget to look out the window and even use binoculars. Your eyes and ears and brain are great navigation tools
Is there some sort of black box flight recorder equivalent that your boat will have? All these system they mention will be on your boat makes it sound like an aircraft. Also, since you guys have such a deep vessel will any sensor tell you how far down the bottom of your keel or hull is within the water, and the distance between the ocean floor and y your hull? I imagine that changes depending on the load on board at a time, or water salinity etc..
I was a bit surprised to hear the salespeople state 5000 hours vs. 25,000 hours on a new radar system. I spent almost 25 years at sea on commercial ships and only on rare occasions would the radars need to be serviced. This was both Decca and Foruno. A single cross Pacific voyage on a ship at 14 knots is about 8000 nautical miles thus 23 days / 571 hours / or only 5 round trips per old radar, whereas the new type at 25,000 hours would yield about 1,041 days / 2 years and 10 months. My experience is that radar, even the old cranky tube type units, would run for many more hours than stated here.
Yes, deep sea radar performance where the magnetron is run for long periods of time with fewer on/off cycles can typically provide much longer than 5,000 hours. However, more on/off cycles tends to reduce the life of a magnetron. The same is true for a light bulb. Furuno is conservative and does not recommend running any radar system until magnetron failure while underway, therefore we recommend changing the magnetron sooner than later.
Will you be having Starlink? it looks a better version of satellite communication for boats, far cheaper a year than the older system. Great Info, great video 2x👍
Question: it sounded like the radar can listen or ping, but not both. Simplex vs duplex… so why can’t they have a device that can listen and send at the same time. They have several feet on the array, so why not both at the same time?
Thanks to everyone who joined the back-to-back Premieres today! if you want to learn more about the Tech in this video: bit.ly/NautiGuys-Furuno
I didn't know there were back to back. But I found them and am loving the first one so far.

OMG! The sensory and mapping technology on your ship exceeds anything I had access to as an AF Pilot and Airline B777 Pilot. Truly amazing equipment.
Glad you enjoyed it!

yes!!! all Geeks are welcome
31:28 I learned anchoring without that tech and to still not disturb my future neighbors. It's fairly simple. You rock up in an anchorage, pick a spot and ask one of your future neighbors how much chain he has out. If you deem it enough to be safe, you check the direction the other boats are pointing, go in that direction, drop your anchor the length of your neighbors chain ahead, then reverse back to your picked position. When the wind changes direction, all boats will swing in roughly the same pattern around their anchors, so you should be safe.
If the other guy has too little chain out for you to feel safe, pick a different spot, preferably far away from him as he might end up dragging... ;-)
So Furuno could put a solar plate on that compass, and it would be 100% able to run itself since it is only 2 watts. :)
Furuno, making dunsels out of Captains everywhere!

very well said Clif 😉
Is the time change that we had on the west coast affecting the start time, cause Turkey has Not done theirs yet.
So now Rico is probably going to point out all the superyachts with small radars and 22" displays!
