Simrad PI Bottom Contact

With patented technology and award winning design, Simrad provides you full control of the actions that take place at the bottom.

Mounted on a bottom trawl, pelagic trawl or purse seine, this sensor will provide important information when you need it:

• When does the footrope on the trawl touch the bottom?
• When does the footrope lift off the bottom?

The principles of the Simrad PI Bottom Contact sensor are simple.

1. When the sensor is mounted on the footrope of a bottom trawl, it will let you know once the trawl lifts a few centimeters above the bottom. You can then immediatley perform the necessary adjustments, and avoid loosing any catch.
2. Mounted on a purse seine, the sensor will be notify once the seine reaches the bottom. This allows you to fish even on a rough bottom.
3. When the Simrad PI Bottom Contact sensor is mounted on the footrope of a pelagic trawl, it will notify you if the trawl unintentionally sinks too close to the bottom.
