Panoptix™ PS51-TH
-
"Upgraded to the LiveScope Plus, and it’s a total game-changer. The detail is unreal — you can see fish flick their fins and move through structure in real time. Absolutely worth every cent."
Mark H. – Queensland -
"The GLS 10 module connected perfectly with my GPSMAP 8410. Everything synced right away — no fuss, no errors. Clear readings and smooth live scanning even in rough water."
Shane D. – Western Australia -
"This tech is insane — I can actually see fish moving towards my lure. The Panoptix system gives me total control offshore. Feels like having underwater radar."
Emma L. – New South Wales
PANOPTIX™ PS51-TH: Forward-Looking Sonar for Grounding Avoidance
The Panoptix™ PS51-TH is a premium thru-hull transducer designed to enhance navigational safety. Featuring **FrontVü forward-looking sonar**, this unit helps you avoid running aground by displaying the bottom contour up to **91 meters (300 feet) ahead** of your boat in real time. It delivers nearly instant feedback, giving you crucial time to react when navigating shallow or unfamiliar Australian waters.
PREMIUM FRONTVÜ™ AND LIVEVÜ™ FORWARD
The PS51-TH utilizes a multibeam phased array to generate both real-time forward views for safety and LiveVü targets for fishing applications.
KEY SONAR & SAFETY FEATURES
- FrontVü Safety Sonar: Displays the bottom ahead of your boat up to 300 feet (at 8 to 10 times the current depth), providing instant navigational feedback. Effectiveness decreases above 8 knots.
- LiveVü Forward: See fish—even divers—swimming in real time under and ahead of your boat with a **100-foot forward range**, whether your boat is moving or stationary.
- Narrow Beam Design: The focused 20-degree narrow beam eliminates confusion by prioritizing the bottom directly in front of the boat, enhancing confidence in navigation.
- Image Stabilization: Includes an Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) sensor for motion stabilization, ensuring a clear view even in rough water conditions.
INSTALLATION AND NETWORKING
The PS51-TH is a stainless steel thru-hull mount designed for permanent installation, capable of reliable performance at speed:
- **Thru-Hull Mount:** Features a standard 50.88 mm (2-inch) stainless steel thru-hull mount. Withstands speeds up to **45 knots**, with operational sonar viewing up to 8 knots.
- **Connectivity:** Sonar image data and depth/temperature data can be easily shared with other Chartplotters across the Garmin Marine Network via the plug-and-play connector.
Inverell Boating Centre Marine Expert Note:
The PS51-TH is a specialized navigational safety transducer. Unlike the LiveScope series, its primary benefit is the 300-foot forward bottom view for grounding avoidance. It requires professional thru-hull installation and connects directly to compatible MFDs via the Garmin Marine Network (large RJ45 connector).

Never Misses a Beat
The GSD 28 sonar module hasn’t skipped once. Tracks bottom at full throttle, even in heavy chop. I’ve used other brands, but Garmin is on another level.

Picks Up Fish 300 Feet Down
Wasn’t sure what to expect, but the XR system blew my mind. Even in deep southern waters, I’m getting perfect readings. Great visibility and super clear imaging.
