The Simrad 000-11674-001 ForwardScan Transducer Kit is an advanced marine technology offering a forward-looking sonar system that gives boaters a clear view of the bottom ahead, enhancing navigation safety in shallow or poorly-charted waters. It provides real-time updates and is capable of displaying the seabed up to eight times your boat's current depth. The compatibility of the ForwardScan transducer with specific Simrad MFD systems such as the NSS evo2 and NSO evo2 makes it a seamless upgrade for users of these multi-function displays. The transducer itself can be installed on a wide variety of watercraft. Here are some key features of this innovative kit:
- Forward-looking 2D sonar imaging for a clear representation of underwater features and hazards.
- Built-in temperature sensor to keep track of water temperatures during your voyage.
- Heading line View that merges ForwardScan data with your vessel's heading line on navigational charts.
- Bottom Color Tracking for an intuitive representation of the seafloor.
- Maximum forward viewing distance that reaches up to 8x the current depth for better planning and situational awareness.
- Shallow depth alarm to warn when navigating through potentially hazardous shallow waters.
- The system operates at 180kHz frequency, significantly reducing interference from more common 200kHz echo sounders.
- Plug-and-play connectivity with compatible Simrad systems through the SonarHub sounder module.
- Durable and easy to install stainless steel fitting that's 50.8mm (2″) in size for the through-hull mount.
