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, stainless steel 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 Installation and Maintenance\u003c\/h4\u003e\nForwardScan suits almost any vessel and hull type, thanks to its stainless steel through-hull mounting sleeve. The sleeve and included fairing block can accommodate 29 mm (1.15 inch) thick hulls at 12 degrees deadrise, or 19 mm (3\/4 inch) hulls at 20 degrees. A self-closing valve means the ForwardScan transducer can be inserted and removed from the sleeve while on the water, allowing quick and easy transducer maintenance.\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\u003ch4 class=\"c-banner-block__heading b-vsb-small\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"c-banner-block__heading-text c-in-the-box__heading-text\"\u003eWhat's in the box?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-banner-block__text c-banner-block__text--body e-richtext c-banner-block__in-the-box\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"c-in-the-box__bullets\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"c-in-the-box__item col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-12\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.simrad-yachting.com\/globalassets\/inriver\/resources\/000-11669-001_1.jpg?w=60\u0026amp;h=40\u0026amp;scale=both\u0026amp;mode=crop\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"c-in-the-box__name\"\u003eForwardScan Sleeve and Plug\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"c-in-the-box__item col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-12\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.simrad-yachting.com\/globalassets\/inriver\/resources\/000-12231-001_000.png?w=60\u0026amp;h=40\u0026amp;scale=both\u0026amp;mode=crop\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"c-in-the-box__name\"\u003eForwardScan Fairing Block\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"c-in-the-box__item col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-12\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.simrad-yachting.com\/globalassets\/inriver\/resources\/sonar_fwd_scan_ducer.png?w=60\u0026amp;h=40\u0026amp;scale=both\u0026amp;mode=crop\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"c-in-the-box__name\"\u003eForwardScan Transducer only\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\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":43496771321904,"sku":"000-11674-001","price":1128.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/6329\/5536\/files\/download_26aa0db2-aba6-4020-9fdc-4da76c9b9a32.png?v=1788829820","url":"https:\/\/www.northsidemarine.com.au\/products\/simrad-forwardscan-transducer-with-sleeve-and-plug","provider":"Northside Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
