• The front-facing premium FrontVü probe helps you prevent your boat from getting starred¹
• Forward-oriented probe with a narrow beam that focuses on the bottom located in front of the boat
• Show the bottom located in front of the boat in real time at a distance of up to 90 m (300 ft)
• It offers almost immediate answers to provide you with more reaction time
• With LiveVü forward, you will be able to see what is in front of and around the boat, even when it is stopped, at a distance of up to 30 m (100 ft)

The Panoptix multi-beam cross-head transducer with front-facing premium FrontVü probe prevents your boat from being stuck1 by showing the bottom located in front of the boat in real time on the plotter. It also includes LiveVü forward probe to offer you the unique possibility of seeing fish, and even divers, swimming below and in front of your boat in real time, with a forward distance of 30 m (100 ft).

The Panoptix FrontVü probe shows the bottom that is in front of it up to a distance of 90 m (300 ft) from the boat (at 8-10 times the current depth) and offers almost immediate responses to provide you with more reaction time. You will be able to navigate in unknown waters with greater confidence, since Panoptix FrontVü has a forward-facing narrow beam probe (20 degrees). This allows you to focus on the bottom that is in front of the boat and not be confused with what is on the sides. It also includes an AHRS sensor for movement stabilization that allows you to see what is in front of the boat even in coarse sea conditions. In addition, all the image data of the forward-facing FrontVü probe can be easily shared with other plotters of the Garmin Nautical Network.

Panoptix PS51-TH incorporates a standard support for mounting through the 50.88 mm (2 inch) stainless steel helmet. It displays temperature and depth data and is compatible with all Garmin plotters that support Panoptix.

With LiveVü forward, the boat can be in motion or stopped. Whatever the orientation of the electric drag motor, you will see live images of what happens underwater. You can see the bait as it dives, as well as its depth and movement when you recover it. You can see how it moves in relation to the structure in the water. You can see the way the fish swim and react to the bait. If they attack, you will be able to see and feel how they sting. Once they are on the hook, you will be able to see the fight on the screen in real time. With Panoptix LiveVü forward, you will be able to see that everything comes to life at a distance of up to 30 m (100 ft). The rest of the probes are a thing of the past.
