Marport Speed Explorer

This new addition to the Marport range combines a huge amount of functionality in a single headlinemounted package. The new Speed Explorer unit combines the functions of a trawl eye headline sounder with a trawl speed sensor to give a comprehensive data output direct to the skipper.

As well as the depth, temperature and pitch & roll data that has become a standard option with every virtually Marport sensor, the Speed Explorer offers an echogram, boosted from 1hz to 3hz to provide three updates per second.

The data feeds providing information on water flow along the direction of the tow and across it are also upgraded in this unit to send an update every three seconds instead of every twenty seconds, giving the skipper an integrated overview of the trawl’s opening, the flow and the effects of the currents around it.
