SES-2000 compact Sub-Bottom Profiler
The SES-2000 compact model is the smallest available SES-2000 sub-bottom profiler, designed for shallow-water applications in inland and near-shore waters down to 400m.
This system has a size of one half 19" device only and is therefore usable even on the smallest boat. Controlled via Ethernet using any Windows based PC or laptop it is a user friendly and affordable design, too.
