Description
The ForwardScan transducer looks ahead of the boat rather than straight down, building a 2D profile of the seabed so you can see a shoaling bottom or an obstruction before you reach it. Running at 180 kHz it typically shows four to five times your current depth ahead - up to eight times in good conditions - and carries a built-in temperature sensor.
This is the short-stem transducer on its own: no through-hull sleeve, no blanking plug. Order it when you are replacing the transducer element in an existing ForwardScan installation. If you are fitting ForwardScan for the first time, take the full kit with sleeve and plug instead.
