Know before you buy
The hybrid interface combines a multi-touch screen with a physical keypad and RotoKey. This allows you to navigate menus and zoom in on charts using the screen, while keeping reliable, tactile control of the unit when your hands are wet or the boat is moving in rough seas.
The TZT9F supports a wide range of frequencies, including CW 50-200kHz and CHIRP 40kHz to 225kHz. Because it features a built-in 1kW TruEcho CHIRP sounder, it is compatible with most standard transducers, but you should verify your specific model's connector and power requirements before installation.
Yes, the unit is equipped for CHIRP Side-Scan and DFF3D Multibeam Sonar. These features provide a wide-area, detailed view of the seafloor, which is significantly more effective for locating structure and fish than traditional single-beam sonar.
TZ Cloud allows you to synchronize your waypoints, routes, and event marks across multiple devices. If you have other Furuno displays or use the TZ iBoat app, your data is automatically backed up and updated, ensuring your fishing spots are always accessible.
Since the TZT9F is no longer in production, Furuno recommends the TZT12F or the TZT10X as current replacements. These models offer updated processing power and compatibility with the latest software features while maintaining the same intuitive interface design.
Yes, the TZT9F is fully compatible with NMEA 2000, as well as NMEA 0183, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi. This allows it to easily integrate with your existing autopilot, AIS, and other marine electronics on the same network.
