Interphase

The new Interphase Escort

forward-scanning sonar helps boaters stay away from whales, wrecks, reefs, sandbars, shoals, debris or rocks.

It uses a 12-degree beam to detect targets as much as 1,200 feet ahead and 600 feet below the boat. It also doubles as a depth sounder, with a range of as much as 600 feet.

Suggested retail price is $1,149.
