Manual sonar rotator
Targex Core
€399
Direct Manual Control
Direct manual forward-beam control.
Core is most effective with a fishing partner: one steers the beam while the other works the target fish. Solo operation is more demanding because rod, reel and lure action need both hands.

- Pointer, knob or optional handle
- No power required
- Ready whenever the boat is on the water
- Pointer-to-beam precision
- Factory aligned to beam centre
- All live-sonar compatible
