Demonstrating success
SIMRAD is the world’s most recognized brand for professional fish-finding equipment. The SY50 is especially designed for coastal fisheries, with the QuadPing capability refining the system for the most ambitious sport fishers. It will be demonstrated commercially for the first time ever at the West Palm Beach Boat Show, March 21-24, at booth 573, Atlantic Marine Electronics.
Mads Dahl, VP Sales at Kongsberg Discovery, explains how the technology will help fishers move “to the next level” in their pursuit of sought after species.
Game on
“We believe QuadPing is an evolutionary step forward in sportfishing technology, delivering a genuine competitive advantage for SY50 users,” Dahl comments.
“Used in dual, split-screen mode – with the ability to operate each screen independently for tilt, range and so on – QuadPing sends out four transmissions at once. One is shown on the first screen, as a reference point, while the other three, each with a separate, defined angle of tilt, are stacked on the second screen.
“The first screen/transmission works to detect the target, while the second then ‘maps’ it and allows for ‘hands off’ tracking all the way into the vessel. This level of insight is especially useful when it comes to identifying, and landing, the most coveted game fish types, such as Sailfish and Marlin. In that respect, this is a gamechanger.”
Simply better
The functionality is enabled by the SY50’s full omni stabilization of transmission and reception beams, while the unit’s specification and range allow for clear, high-resolution sonar presentation over a distance of 2000m (6500 ft).
Thanks to its compact size, simplicity and ease of installation, the SY50 is ideal for small vessels with limited room for a sonar installation.
