Sleeve and plug only for ForwardScan

The Navico ForwardScan Sleeve and Plug Only kit is a pre-installation solution designed for future integration of a ForwardScan transducer on your vessel. It allows you to prepare the boat to receive this sonar technology in advance without having to purchase the full transducer immediately.

This kit contains mainly two components:

A 50.8 mm (2 inch) stainless steel through-hull sleeve. A blanking plug. It does not include the ForwardScan transducer itself.

The through-hull fitting is used to create a watertight and durable opening in your boat's hull, ready to later accommodate a ForwardScan transducer. The blanking plug is used to temporarily seal this opening when the transducer is not yet installed, ensuring the hull remains watertight.

No, this kit does not include the ForwardScan transducer. As its name indicates ("Sleeve and Plug Only"), it consists solely of the through-hull sleeve and the blanking plug. The transducer must be purchased separately.

The bulkhead gland is made of stainless steel. This material choice ensures excellent resistance to corrosion and the harsh conditions of the marine environment.

The through-hull fitting has a diameter of 50.8 mm (2 inches).

Yes, this product is from the Navico brand. Navico is a recognized manufacturer of marine electronics.

The reference number (SKU) for this kit is 000-11669-001.

The sleeve is designed to be installed directly on the hull of the vessel. This is a through-hull installation that requires drilling a hole in the hull to insert the sleeve and secure it in a watertight manner.

For a keel angle of 12 degrees, the sleeve is compatible with hulls up to 29 mm (1.15 in) thick.

For a keel angle of 20 degrees, the bushing is compatible with hulls up to 19 mm (3/4 inch) thick.

The sleeve is designed for through-hull installation and is compatible with various hull configurations, including those with keel angles up to 20 degrees and specific thicknesses. It is important to verify hull thickness specifications and keel angle to ensure compatibility with your vessel.

Yes, the sealing plug is designed to seal the sleeve opening in a watertight manner when the ForwardScan transducer is not installed. This maintains hull integrity and prevents water ingress.

Yes, this product is an original Navico part, with the supplier reference 000-11669-001.

This pre-installation kit is specifically designed for future integration of a Navico ForwardScan sonar system transducer.

Although designed for direct installation on most vessels, compatibility depends on the hull thickness and keel angle of your boat. It is essential to verify that your hull dimensions match the sleeve specifications (maximum thickness of 29 mm for a 12° keel angle, or 19 mm for a 20° keel angle).

Yes, the brands Lowrance, Simrad and B&G are part of the Navico group. This kit is designed for the ForwardScan system, which is compatible with the multifunction displays from these brands that support ForwardScan technology.

No, this sleeve is specifically sized and designed for the ForwardScan transducer. Using it with other types of sensors or depth sounders is not recommended and could compromise waterproofing or proper functionality.

The kit is a pre-installation solution. While specific instructions are not detailed here, it is generally recommended to consult the ForwardScan transducer user manual or hire a professional for the installation of through-hull equipment to ensure optimal watertightness and performance.
