PROBE




Working like an underwater radar, the Probe scans a moving beam vertically from just below the surface to directly beneath the boat to show "live action" views of shallowing bottom conditions, underwater structure, large forward obstructions and even fish and schools of bait out ahead of your boat. The Probe also operates as a full-featured conventional downlooking depth sounder.

The powerful Probe can detect changing bottom conditions up to several hundred feet beyond your bow and can scour the depths up to 800 feet below your keel. An easy to use front panel control allows optimum adjustment of the forward beam direction and width and a unique alarm can be set to warn of upcoming obstructions or shallowing conditions. Made with pride in the USA, the Probe is completely fog and waterproof.

Ease of Operation
The Probe offers numerous split screen modes easily accessed with only five buttons. The product is truly intuitive and user friendly. Any adjustment on screen can be modified simply by using the large Beam dial.

Choice of Views
Probe viewing can be forward, downward, or a combination of both. The scan can be reduced to a fraction of the 90 degree sweep and then "steered" anywhere from just under the surface to directly downward.

Split Screens
Along with the traditional split screen and navigational split screen (an industry innovation first introduced by Interphase in 1988) the Probe offers a forward looking display with either navigation or bottom chart views.

Forward Seeking View
The Probe offers recreational boaters a never before available forward scan of the bottom and suspended targets. Forward range is up to six times the current water depth with a 1,200' maximum forward display (420 watts RMS).

Durability
Like all of today's Interphase products, the Probe 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 Probe is packed with valuable depth sounder features and Loran C/GPS (NMEA ver 1.5) ready plotting in addition to its unique solid state forward scanning features.

How far forward can I see in shallow water?

Over flat bottoms it is possible to see up to four times the water's depth forward. Rocky bottoms create stronger returns allowing for returns up to five times water depth forward. Upward sloping bottoms reduce forward range while downward sloping bottoms allow for greater range. The minimum operating depth is approx. 3 metres. (10')

All sonars have a display option of either feet or metres.
