FrontVü Sonar View
The Panoptix FrontVü sonar view increases your situational
awareness by showing obstructions under the water, up to
91 meters (300 feet) in front of the boat.
The ability to effectively avoid forward collisions with FrontVü
sonar decreases as your speed rises above 8 knots.
To see the FrontVü sonar view, you must install and connect a
compatible transducer, such as a PS21 transducer. You may
need to update the transducer software.
Panoptix LiveScope
