Easy to operate, the Sea Scout allows you to observe areas in front of and
directly underneath your boat simultaneously on a clear, split screen. Using
the convenient front panel control, the Sea Scout allows you to adjust both
scan width and direction for optimum forward coverage, and a forward alarm can
be easily set to warn of approaching fish, schools of bait or other submerged
objects. Plus, the Sea Scout's bottom looking mode provides a full set of conventional
fish finder features.
Ease of Operation
The Sea Scout offers numerous split screen modes easily accessed with only
five buttons. The product is truly intuitive and user friendly. Any adjustments
on screen can be modified simply by using the large Beam Control dial.
Choice of Views
Sea Scout viewing can be forward, downward, or a combination of both. The scan
can be reduced to a fraction of the 90 degree side to side sweep and then "steered"
anywhere between 45 degrees port to 45 degrees starboard. Also available is
a bottom chart mode and GPS/Loran track plotter (NMEA 0183).
Split Screens
Along with the traditional split screen and navigational split screen (an industry
innovation first introduced by Interphase in 1988) the Sea Scout offers forward
looking display data information or a combination of bottom, track, or data
screens.
Forward Seeking View
The Sea Scout offers recreational boaters a never before available scan of
suspended targets up to 1,200' forward of the boat.
Durability
Like all of today's Interphase products, the Sea Scout is built by hand in
the USA, each unit is bench tested for a minimum of 12 hours, and guaranteed
waterproof.
Value
Affordable forward scanning sonar for the recreational boater, the revolutionary
Sea Scout is packed with valuable depth sounder features and Loran/GPS ready
plotting in addition to its unique solid state forward scanning features.
You may choose to turn off the Auto-Range in order to see further than the
actual bottom. This will enable the sonar pulse to bounce off the bottom and
continue on. The targets ahead will reflect back to the unit and allow you to
see a much greater distance ahead. Many users have experimented and found that
the unit allows for a wide range of uses. The unit is not designed to provide
forward "bottom" image, but will provide a bottom chart mode directly
under the boat. Some limitations are observed in very shallow ranges.
This unique product borrows the latest in medical ultra-sound technology and
provides a virtual underwater radar display. With its ability to look forward
and scan from side to side, the Sea Scout can identify suspended fish, obstructions,
or even your cast lure. We have even tested the unit looking backward and it
will show fish approaching your bait or chum line from the rear (it will not
operate through cavitation).
Sea Scout sweeps a 12 degree cone in a 90 degree arc from side to side. The
sweep is angled downward from the transducer at 20 degrees. It also provides
a standard downward looking sounder for a bottom view.
