Know what lies ahead, with ForwardScan.

ForwardScan provides forward-looking, two-dimensional sonar imaging of the bottom ahead of your boat. In shallow, unfamiliar, or poorly-charted waters, ForwardScan is a powerful defence against running around, and an invaluable tool for locating secure sites to drop anchor.

The ForwardScan transducer operates at 180 kHz to reduce interference from traditional 200 kHz echosounders, and provides:
• Maximum forward view of 8X your current depth
e.g. at 3 m (10 ft) depth, see up to 24 m (80 ft) ahead.
• Nominal forward view of 4-5X your current depth
e.g. At 3 m (10 ft) depth, see 12-15 m (40-50 ft) ahead.

Multifunction Display Integration
ForwardScan connects quickly and easily to Vulcan* series displays via the Sonar port, with no additional hardware necessary. On the Zeus² and Zeus² Glass Helm modular systems, ForwardScan may be connected via an optional SonarHub sounder module.

Bottom Colour Tracking
Bottom Colour Tracking offers a solid 2D rendering of the bottom ahead of your vessel for an uncluttered, immediately understandable view. Make fast and well-informed navigational decisions, without needing to interpret the individual data points returned by the echosounder.

Heading Line View
Heading Line View integrates ForwardScan depth data with the heading line displayed on the navigation page of your B&G multifunction display. The line is colour-coded in segments to represent deep, medium, and shallow water, with customisable depth ranges to suit your boat’s draught.

ForwardScan’s forward range scale is automatically synchronised with the length of the heading line: in split-screen ForwardScan/Navigation view, the full distance from your vessel to the end of the heading line is represented in 2D on the ForwardScan display. Quickly reconcile ForwardScan data with charted depth and your present course, for a comprehensive understanding of what’s ahead.

Easy Installation
ForwardScan can be installed on almost any vessel, with a 50.8 mm (2 inch) stainless steel through-hull mount. The mount can accommodate 25.4 mm (1 inch) thick hulls at 12 degrees dead rise, or 19 mm (3/4 inch) hulls at 20 degrees.

An optional pre-install kit includes sleeve and blanking plug only, allowing boat-builders to provide ForwardScan as an upgrade option. A ForwardScan transducer can then be added by the dealer or customer, even once the boat has been splashed.

*Pre-2016 Vulcan 7 models (part number: 000-12213-001) are not ForwardScan compatible.
