Take command of the water with the Garmin Panoptix PS51-TH Premium FrontVü Forward-looking Sonar. This premium thru-hull transducer delivers real-time bottom imagery ahead of your boat, helping you avoid running aground and navigate unfamiliar waters with confidence.
The Panoptix FrontVü forward-looking sonar creates a narrow 20-degree beam that focuses on the bottom in front of you, reducing clutter from the sides and letting you react faster. It displays bottom information up to 300 feet ahead, at 8-10x your current depth, and provides nearly instant feedback so you have more time to react.
