ForwardScan® forward-looking sonar shows what lies ahead under the water with approaching depth information. It transmits and receives up to ten times’ faster for real-time updates. Forward-looking 180kHz transducer displays the bottom ahead of your boat, at up to 8 times your current depth. Suitable for most vessels.ForwardScan can be installed on almost any vessel, with 50.8mm (2”) stainless steel through-hull mount. The mount can accommodate 25.4mm (1”) thick hulls at 12° dead rise, or 19mm (3/4”) hulls at 20°. NSS evo2 required or Zeus² with SonarHub sonar processor. ForwardScan is compatible with the B&G Zeus² series, Vulcan 5 and Vulcan 7 (2016 edition) navigation units and requires a SonarHub sonar processor.
