Garmin, Panoptix™ PS30.

The Garmin Panoptix™ PS30 is a transom-mounted “Down” transducer that provides real-time, all-seeing sonar imagery. Unlike traditional sonar that shows a history of what you’ve passed over, the PS30 allows you to see fish and bait swimming in the water column directly beneath your boat in real time, even while your vessel is stationary.

Key Features

Real-Time Movement: See fish swimming toward or away from the boat with zero lag.
All-Seeing Technology: Provides a massive 120-degree port-to-starboard coverage, allowing you to see fish that aren’t directly under the hull.
AHRS Stabilization: An internal Attitude Heading Reference System compensates for boat motion to keep your sonar images stable in choppy water.
Networking: Connects directly to the Garmin Marine Network via Ethernet, sharing data across compatible GPSMAP® and ECHOMAP™ chartplotters.
