This compact transducer provides a forward-looking view of up to eight times your current depth, allowing you to navigate shallow or poorly-charted waters with confidence. Includes a standard ForwardScan transducer, ideal for boats already fitted with a ForwardScan sleeve and blanking plug.\n\u003ch4\u003eKnow What Lies Ahead\u003c\/h4\u003e\nForwardScan uses forward-looking sonar to give you a clear view of the bottom ahead of your boat. This award-winning technology is a powerful defence against running aground in shallow, unfamiliar, or poorly-charted waters. ForwardScan generally offers a forward view of 4-5 times your current depth; for example in 3 metres (10 feet) of water, see the bottom 12-15 metres (40-50 feet) ahead. Under ideal conditions ForwardScan can see even further, looking ahead up to 8 times your current depth. The 180 kHz ForwardScan transducer is designed to minimise interference from common 200 kHz transducers, enabling it to be used alongside existing fish-finding or depth-tracking sonar.\n\u003ch4\u003eSimple 2D View and Chart Overlay\u003c\/h4\u003e\nSee a simple, immediately understandable view of the bottom ahead. Bottom Colour Tracking shows the bottom as a solid terrain in an uncluttered, side-on picture. For more detail, you can choose to display sonar returns from throughout the water column; these can illustrate other potential hazards such as dock posts. Perfect for cruising, you can also overlay ForwardScan depth data on charts: Heading Line View uses colour-coded segments to represent deep, medium, and shallow water ahead. Depths are customisable to suit your boat”™s draught, and a shallow depth alarm helps to ensure you”™re never caught unaware.\n\u003ch4\u003eEasy On-Water Installation for ForwardScan-Ready Boats\u003c\/h4\u003e\nThe ForwardScan transducer can be installed on the water, in just a few minutes, for boats already fitted with the ForwardScan mounting sleeve. Just remove the blanking plug, install the transducer into the sleeve, and connect the cable to your compatible Simrad multifunction display or sounder module. A self-closing valve built into the sleeve minimizes water ingress during installation. For boats without a pre-fitted sleeve, the complete ForwardScan kit (sold separately) includes a transducer, sleeve, and fairing block.\n\u003ch4 class=\"c-key-features__heading\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-key-features__items e-richtext col-sm-6 col-sm-push-3\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple 2D view of the bottom ahead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNavigate safely with ForwardScan data overlaid on charts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLook ahead up to 8 times your current depth (generally 4-5 times)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to minimize interference from existing 200 kHz transducers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in water temperature sensor offers extra value\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy installation and maintenance with an on-water removable transducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnects to the StructureScan® HD port on compatible displays or sounder modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-banner-block__text c-banner-block__text--body e-richtext c-banner-block__in-the-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.northsidemarine.com.au\/online-store\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/09\/Forwardscan_UG_EN_988-10761-002_w.pdf\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eUser Guide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"style-scope ytd-watch-metadata\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=J9hM_g_ynrw\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSimrad | How to Navigate a Narrow Channel with Simrad ForwardScan™\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NS Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43496771354672,"sku":"000-11675-001","price":732.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/6329\/5536\/files\/download_c60796e2-e2e7-4aea-8758-92dbd0bdd5c0.png?v=1788829818","url":"https:\/\/www.northsidemarine.com.au\/products\/simrad-forwardscan-transducer-only","provider":"Northside Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
