Lazybones,

Q1. Will RealVision 3Dâ„¢ sonar be compatible with eS series?
A1. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing this subject.

Q2. Can RealVision 3Dâ„¢ sonar be used on a sailboat?
A2. RealVision 3Dâ„¢ sonar is primarily intended for use with power driven vessels. However, as Raymarine will be offering a RealVision 3Dâ„¢ Sonar Thru-hull Transducer, it would be technically possible to outfit a sailboat with RealVision3D Sonar. In such installations, the transducer would likely need to be installed forward of the keel.

Q3. Will RealVision 3Dâ„¢ sonar allow a sailboat to use the software to see in front of the boat?
A3. RealVision 3Dâ„¢ Sonar is not forward looking sonar. While capable of producing a 3D image, it is essentially historical in nature (i.e. sonar data is captured as the bottom and water column pass beneath the transducer).
