Overview

The Garmin 010-12676-61 is a floating, snap-on removable transducer lens for the Panoptix PS22-IF that lets you switch between wide and narrow sonar beam angles. With the lens installed you get a narrower view to help pinpoint fish, and with the lens removed you return to a wider view for scouting.

It is a simple physical accessory with no power or wiring involved, so it does not change your boat’s electrical system or any network connections. This is a handy add-on when you want to adjust your view during a trip without swapping transducers or re-rigging.

Key features

• Snap-on lens that attaches directly to the Panoptix PS22-IF transducer
• Lens installed narrows the beam for more focused fish targeting
• Lens removed returns the beam to a wider view for scanning
• Floating design helps keep it retrievable if it slips into the water
• No electrical changes required since it is a mechanical add-on

Compatibility and fit

This lens is made for the Panoptix PS22-IF transducer. If you are running a different Panoptix model, match the transducer model first before ordering, since the fit is specific to the PS22-IF housing.

Installation and use

Snap the lens onto the front of the transducer when you want the narrower beam, and remove it when you want the wider beam. Make sure it is fully seated before lowering the transducer into the water, and stow the lens somewhere it will not get stepped on when it is off the transducer.

Use on board

This accessory is a good match for anglers who run a PS22-IF and alternate between scanning for fish and working a tighter area once a target shows up. It fits well into ice fishing use, as well as vertical presentations from a small boat where you want to change your view without interrupting the setup.

Care and storage

Rinse after use and wipe it down before storing, especially if it has been exposed to salt spray. Keep it out of abrasive contact in a tackle bin, and avoid leaving it loose on deck where it can get scuffed.
