WESMAR HD 860

New sonar, the HD860 series, with Precision Beam Stabilisation, after four years of intensive design.

Digital Link: Long interconnect cable runs are always subject to noise and low sonar performance. In the HD860 a digital link between the sonar electronics near the transducer and the computer console in the wheelhouse eliminates noise - for maximum sonar performance and extreme picture clarity.
Searchlight Advantage: The company claims that no sonar has better directivity than WESMAR's searchlight technology. One hundred per cent of the transducer surface area points in the same direction, giving a narrow and focused beam. Dispersed fish or hard to mark fish are detected clutter free.
Profile Scan: In depth sounder mode, scan a swath and view the bottom below and on both sides of the vessel. Sounders only mark under the vessel and not to the sides, missing an enormous amount of bottom information. In the profile mode bottom coverage is 6 to 10 times greater than traditional sounders.
Heavy-duty Transducer Hoist: WESMAR’s heavy duty design is the result of almost five decades of sonar design experience. It moves up and down quickly - four seconds up or down out of harm’s way - should underwater conditions change quickly. Two down positions and automatic shut down for safety. The 10 inch model has a long-stroke hoist option an advantage only WESMAR provides.
The following screen options are available:
Split Screen: Forward scan on top, port starboard bottom profile on lower half. Each screen has its own controls to maximise target detection.
Full Screen Sonar: Detect targets all around the vessel.
Split Screen/Dual Monitor: One monitor shows split screen with bottom history on the top half and profile on the lower half with depth displayed in the center of the screen.
Sounder: Full screen sounder with or without fish lupe will operate with the hoist up or down.
