The Sea Scout is
a revolutionary forward scanning fish finding device. Whether looking for suspended
walleye, mooching for salmon or trying to find schools of bait, the Sea Scout will show you what lies ahead. With a single transducer, the Sea Scout scans a moving beam over a 90 degree arc back and forth across the bow of the
boat, like a searchlight, with forward ranges up to 1,200 feet, and simultaneously
operates as a full-function downlooking fish finder. Serious sport fishermen can
now scan the area in front of their boat and steer directly to suspended fish,
schools of bait and other underwater targets.
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.
- The
Interphase Label
Interphase's commitment to state of the art technology, quality, reliability, and a dedication
to customer satisfaction.

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. |
