Yes, I have an Interphase unit on my boat. I have it set up with
a split screen so half of the screen shows the bottom straight
down, and the other half scans forward. The forward scanning
does pretty well as long I'm in fairly clean water and going slowly.
Up here on the Tennessee river, where the water is not always
so clear, I get some reflections from the dirt in the water when
scanning forward. This can even be a problem when scanning
straight down, but more of a problem on forward scan. If you
are cruising in clean ocean water, a forward scanning sonar is
definitely a worthwhile addition.
