Garmin Panoptix LiveScope Thru-Hull Transducer System
Best real-time sonar for anglers needing precise underwater visibility.
Get ready to experience fishing like never before with the Garmin Panoptix LiveScope™ System featuring a Thru-Hull Mount Transducer! This incredible technology takes scanning sonar and elevates it to Panoptix™, allowing you to see highly detailed, easy-to-interpret live scanning sonar images of structure, bait, and fish swimming below and around your boat in real time, even when your boat is completely stationary. You can see incredibly sharp real-time scanning sonar images up to 200 feet around your boat. The integrated Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) stabilizes the sonar view right on your chartplotter screen, even when the water gets rough. Installation is a breeze thanks to the simple plug-and-play Garmin Marine Network connector, ensuring seamless integration with your compatible Garmin chartplotter. With a little practice, the images are so clear and precise you might even be able to distinguish between different species of fish! Specifically, the Panoptix LiveScope Forward™ Sonar is an excellent tool for scouting and fishing ahead of your cast. The system includes a compact GLS 10 sonar black box and the LVS32 thru-hull transducer. You can also use the transducer as a supplemental traditional and ClearVü sonar source to view a historical representation of what's below your boat. This unit weighs 5.6 lb (approximately 2.54 kg). Please be aware that this product carries a California Proposition 65 warning regarding exposure to certain chemicals.
