Panoptix™ PS70, eingöngu sona

The Garmin Panoptix™ PS70-TH is a through-hull transducer designed for integrating advanced Garmin sonar systems. It is optimized for superior hydrodynamic performance and increased durability, essential for offshore navigation and demanding sport fishing applications. It provides detailed sonar images beneath the boat.

This through-hull transducer is compatible with fiberglass hulls (whether monolithic or sandwich core) as well as with metal hulls.

For optimal performance and to avoid potential injury or damage to the device or your vessel, installation by a qualified marine technician is recommended.

Yes, several locations should be avoided:

Avoid turbulence: The transducer must not be mounted behind ribs, struts, fittings, water intake or discharge openings, or anything that creates air bubbles or makes the water turbulent. It must be in clean (non-turbulent) water for optimal performance.Avoid shocks: The transducer must not be mounted in a location where it could be shaken during launching, towing, or storage.Avoid the propeller: On single-propulsion boats, the transducer must not be mounted in the propeller’s path, as it can cause cavitation.Avoid heat: To prevent overheating and interference, do not install the transducer near the engine, in the engine room, or in any other hot location.

Yes, you must update the software of your Garmin chartplotter when installing this device. Instructions for updating the software are found in your chartplotter’s owner’s manual.

To prevent leaks, apply marine sealant along the water path between components to ensure a watertight seal between the transducer and the hull. Sealant must be applied between the following elements:

The fairing block and the hullThe fairing block and the transducerThe fairing block and the anti-rotation bolt capThe holes for the bolts and the transducer cable rodThe rod and the hull nutThe rings, the rod, and the hullThe transducer and the hull pocketIt is critical to immediately check for leaks after launching the vessel.

No, the fairing block is used when the transducer is mounted in a hull location with a deadrise angle of 20 degrees or less. However, if the transducer is installed in a dedicated hull pocket, the anti-rotation bolt and fairing block are not used.
