The WESMAR HD860 runs in two different modes; a narrow beam searches long-range in searchlight fashion or a wide beam to bottom type the sea floor ahead.

It’s a dramatic and very effective tool for fishing, being deployed with high success by captains in Dutch Harbor, Washington, Oregon, and California coasts, and as far south as Mexico. 

Fishing vessels

The HD860 is just one of the money-making pieces of gear for vessel owners that we’ll be demonstrating,” said Bryan Thiemann of WESMAR.

Other significant products fishermen will be able to see and learn about are the company’s trawl sonars and powerful stainless steel counter-rotating dual prop bow thrusters.

Reliable and rugged gear

WESMAR’s new HD860 Dual Beam Scanning Sonar provides unbeatable bottom discrimination, and can easily detect weak targets other sonar’s cannot. The HD860 scans ahead 500 metres, detecting hard bottom that could damage the net.
