Garmin Panoptix PS30 Down Looking Transducer Product Description
Garmin Panoptix PS30 Down Looking Transducer - Revolutionary Real-Time Sonar Imaging
Experience Underwater Life Like Never Before with Real-Time 3D Sonar Imaging
The Garmin Panoptix PS30 Down Looking Transducer transforms fishing and marine exploration with groundbreaking real-time sonar technology that lets you actually see fish, bait, and underwater structures as they move beneath your vessel. This revolutionary 417kHz transducer provides three distinct viewing modes - LiveVü Down, RealVü 3D Down, and RealVü 3D Historical - delivering unprecedented underwater visualization that changes how you fish, navigate, and explore marine environments.
Panoptix All-Seeing Sonar Technology
LiveVü Down - Real-Time Moving Sonar
Watch the underwater world come alive with real-time moving sonar images. See fish swimming toward or away from your boat, observe small baitfish and large game fish, and even track your lure as it moves through the water column. This revolutionary technology provides live-action underwater viewing that transforms fishing from guesswork into visual hunting.
RealVü 3D Down - Stationary 3D Imaging
Maintain position and see everything around your boat in stunning three-dimensional detail. This mode captures a complete 3D snapshot of the underwater environment, showing fish, structure, and bottom composition from a single sonar sweep. Perfect for detailed structure analysis and precise boat positioning over productive fishing areas.
RealVü 3D Historical - Moving Water Column View
Visualize the entire water column you've passed over in comprehensive 3D perspective. This mode captures the complete underwater environment from surface to bottom, displaying fish, thermoclines, and structure in full three-dimensional context as you move through the water. Essential for marking productive areas and understanding underwater topography.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Garmin displays are compatible with the PS30?
The PS30 requires a compatible Garmin display with Panoptix support, including GPSMAP series chartplotters, echoMAP series, and STRIKER series units. Check Garmin compatibility charts for specific model requirements and software versions.
Can I see fish while the boat is moving?
Yes, the RealVü 3D Historical mode is specifically designed for viewing the complete water column while moving. LiveVü Down also works while moving but is optimized for stationary or slow-speed operation.
How deep can the PS30 effectively operate?
The PS30 has a maximum range of 300 feet, but optimal performance varies with water conditions, bottom composition, and target size. Best results typically occur in depths up to 200 feet with clear water conditions.
Does the transom mount affect boat performance?
The low-profile transom mount design minimizes impact on boat performance. The streamlined transducer housing reduces drag and turbulence compared to larger traditional transducers.
Can I install the PS30 myself?
The PS30 is designed for straightforward installation with included hardware and documentation. However, proper network integration and calibration may benefit from professional marine electronics installation for optimal performance.
