Plug only for ForwardScan

Navico's ForwardScan Plug Only, part number 000-12230-001, is a replacement accessory designed for ForwardScan sonar systems. It is a plug that ensures watertight sealing of the hull penetration when the ForwardScan transducer is not installed.

Its primary role is to maintain the watertight integrity of the hull through-hull fitting of the ForwardScan system when the transducer is removed, for example for maintenance, winterization, or replacement. It thus prevents any water ingress into the boat's hull, contributing to maritime safety.

No, as the name implies ('Plug Only'), this product is only the replacement plug. The ForwardScan transducer itself is not included and must be purchased separately if needed.

This product is CE-certified, attesting to its compliance with European standards for safety, health, and environmental protection.

The weight of this ForwardScan Plug Only is 0.25 kg.

The country of origin for this product is the United States.

It must be screwed or securely fastened to ensure a perfect watertight seal. It is recommended to consult the ForwardScan user manual for detailed instructions specific to your installation.

The plug is designed to ensure watertightness. It is crucial to ensure that the seal integrated into the plug or through-hull fitting is in good condition. Using a compatible marine sealant may be recommended for maximum safety, following the through-hull fitting manufacturer's guidelines and marine installation best practices.

Installing the plug itself is usually straightforward and involves screwing it into the through-hull fitting. However, a good understanding of the ForwardScan system and marine sealing practices is recommended to ensure the installation is correct, secure, and maintains hull integrity.

This plug is required when the ForwardScan transducer is removed from the through-hull fitting, whether for maintenance, repair, replacement, or winter storage of the boat. It maintains hull watertight integrity in the absence of the transducer.
