- First time testing out the Helix 7 Side Scan Sonar fish finder with a tethered "fish". The sonar will be used to find dive targets for the submarine.

Great video, I’d love to invest in one.
What company builds it?
Nice gadget !! One thought would be to attach a gopro to the sonar fish so you can compare visual with sonar for familiarization purposes.
That's not a bad idea. In fact, that's how they found the Titanic, with a deep towed camera sled. Attach the gopro pointed straight down, on time lapse mode. You'll have to find a way to synchronize a strobe light with it. When you spot a target on sidescan, change course to run directly over it and you'll know 100% what it is.
Hi Chris, that is worth looking into.
Is your cable to the transducers made up of multiple extensions? If so, are there any issues with water on the connection?
I sit two layers of shrink tube and no issues
Do you have a video on how you built the Towfish
Sorry, I actually bought the system.
What system is it and what depth is it rated for
Its a Helix 7 and I don't know the depth rating. We use it at 120 feet deep.@@user-ng8nz2rp8j
Hi Hank, thank you for your channel, it is a real treasure for me as I explore the idea of making my own ROV. What make /model is the "fish" you're using in this video? and does it connect directly to the Humminbird MFD?
The fish is custom and yes it plugs right in
Who did you purchase this towed fish from?
I do offshore hydrographic surveys on big vessels and have extensively used EdgeTech towed fish. Have started do intercoastal and fresh water lake surveys on small vessels. Would be very much interested in more details for this fish.
I bought the whole system from Stuart Pole from Dark Water. He has a Face Book group (Dark Water). He actually makes them and other stuff.
It can detect human body under water ??
Yes it can
