STARFISH QUESTIONNAIRE

We are always looking to improve the StarFish Seabed Imaging System and value the feedback received from our customers and other experienced side scan sonar operators. This short questionnaire has been produced to allow you to give us feedback about our current system and some new concept ideas. Please also take the opportunity to be creative and express yourself by telling us what your dream side scan sonar system would be (specification, cost, etc). You never know... we might just build it!

The questionnaires with the most constructive responses may win a discount code which they can use against their next StarFish purchase. Complete the questions below and click on the button at the end to send your questionnaire to us. Many thanks, The StarFish Team.

CONCEPT#1: STARFISH POLE MOUNTING BRACKET

A plastic (acetal) bracket which bolts over the towing holes of the Starfish 450F sonar. The top clamping hole is suitable for a customer supplied pole, approx 25mm diameter.

Suggested retail price: £85 GBP

CONCEPT#2: STARFISH CABLE WEIGHT

Two lead halves (cast) that clamp around the towing cable and tighten together with bolts. The approx weight of the assembly is 2kg and this extra weight helps to keep the StarFish 450F deeper underwater when you want to use less cable or in fast moving water conditions. Increase weight on the cable by adding more units.

Suggested retail price: £55 GBP
