The Interphase Sea Scout Shown with full screen forward
scan, notice large school of fish approximately 800 feet ahead and to left
of vessel.
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.

Forward Scanning Sonar from Interphase
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.
