Description

B&G, Simrad ForwardScan Technology ForwardScan provides forward-looking, two-dimensional sonar imaging of the bottom ahead of your boat. In shallow, unfamiliar, or poorly-charted waters, ForwardScan is a powerful defence against running around, and an invaluable tool for locating secure sites to drop anchor. The ForwardScan transducer operates at 180kHz to reduce interference from traditional 200kHz echosounders, and provides: Maximum forward view of 8X your current depth e.g. at 3m (10ft) depth, see up to 24m (80ft) ahead. Nominal forward view of 4-5X your current depth e.g. At 3m (10ft) depth, see 12-15m (40-50ft) ahead.

What does ForwardScan show me?
ForwardScan provides a simple, forward-looking 2D sonar view of the bottom ahead of your boat. It helps you avoid running aground in shallow, unfamiliar or poorly charted waters and is a useful tool for finding a safe spot to anchor.
How far ahead can ForwardScan see?
Under ideal conditions ForwardScan can look ahead up to eight times your current depth, with a nominal forward view of four to five times your depth. For example, in 3 m (10 ft) of water you can typically see 12 to 15 m (40 to 50 ft) ahead. Maximum forward range is 91 m (300 ft).
Will ForwardScan interfere with my existing depth sounder?
No. The ForwardScan transducer operates at 180 kHz, which is specifically chosen to minimise interference from traditional 200 kHz fish-finding and depth-tracking sonar, so it can be used alongside your existing echosounder.
How does ForwardScan connect to my display?
The transducer connects to the StructureScan HD port (black 9-pin) on a compatible multifunction display, or to a SonarHub sounder module on your Ethernet network so the data can be shared with networked displays.
What is included in this kit?
This kit includes the ForwardScan transducer, a stainless steel through-hull sleeve, a blanking plug, a fairing block and a 9 m cable. The 50.8 mm (2 inch) mount suits 25.4 mm (1 inch) hulls at 12 degrees deadrise or 19 mm (3/4 inch) hulls at 20 degrees.
