Some of you probably wonder, when looking at the sonar, whether the screen is showing the bottom directly below the boat.

Yes, it is.

So you wonder, what good is this, when I need to see ahead?

Now you can.

Simrad’s ForwardScan is a forward-looking sonar for the boat.

It provides a two-dimensional image of the bottom ahead of the boat, up to eight times the distance of the current depth.

ForwardScan is easy to use, the company says.

You purchase the forward-scanning transducer that can be displayed on several of Simrad’s other electronics with screens.

You probably worried about traditional sonar, showing below the boat, instead of in front, when shallow, uncharted water was a threat.

This can help ease your mind.  

It’s rather that simple.
