Avoid Running Aground with Premium FrontVü Forward-looking Sonar
- Premium FrontVü forward-looking sonar helps you avoid running aground¹
- Narrow beam,
forward-looking sonar that focuses on the bottom in front of your boat
- Displays the bottom ahead of your boat in real time
- Displays bottom up to 300 feet ahead
- Delivers nearly instant feedback to give you more time to react
The Panoptix multibeam thru-hull transducer with premium FrontVü
forward-looking sonar helps you avoid running aground¹ by displaying the bottom
ahead of your boat in real time on your chartplotter.
Panoptix FrontVü sonar displays bottom up to 300 feet ahead of the boat (at 8
to 10 times the current depth) and delivers nearly instant feedback to give you
more time to react. You can be more confident when navigating unfamiliar water
because Panoptix FrontVü has a narrow beam,
forward-looking sonar (20 degrees). This allows you to focus on the bottom in
front of your boat and not be confused with what is off to each side. It also
includes an AHRS sensor for motion stabilization that allows you to see what is
in front of your boat even in rough water conditions. And all the FrontVü
forward-looking sonar image data can be easily shared with other chartplotters
across the Garmin Marine Network.
Panoptix PS51-TH features a standard 50.88 mm (2-inch) stainless steel
thru-hull mount. Displays depth and temperature data, and is compatible with all
Panoptix capable Garmin chartplotters.
¹The ability to effectively avoid running aground
with FrontVü sonar decreases as speed rises above 8 knots.
