S-POINTER

Our company “S-Pointer” Ltd. produces a few models of live sonar poles, mounts and accessories for them. Our sonar poles consist of a few parts:

Fixing to the boat side platform. A selection of options are available: flat extended, for "Gunnel Track System", for railing or other types of boat sides. Sometimes this part is not necessary because on the hard, flat, and wide boat side, a tilt compensator can be fixed without the additional platform.

Tilt compensator. This part is necessary for a sonar rotator to make sure the pole of the sonar mount is exactly in a vertical position. It suits manual and motorized-manual “S-Pointer” mounts.

“S-Pointer” rotator with pole. The “S-Pointer” rotator can be manual or motorized-manual. The motorized rotational mount allows you to control the live sonar beam, while reeling and pulling your lure. With a convenient foot pedal, you can easily steer the beam even while holding a rod with both hands. If the “S-Pointer” mount is regularly fixed on the boat side, the length of the pole, measuring from the boat edge to the lowest point where the transducer is fixed, is about 0.9 meters. But you can additionally order an extension of 0.3 or 0.6 meters, if it is necessary. The diameter of the “S-Pointer” pole is Ø25 millimeters.

Control block. This part is necessary for the motorized-manual “S-Pointer” mounts. There are two types of control blocks. One is simpler and can control the “S-Pointer” rotator by a wired pedal, has Autoscan and a speed control function. The other one also will have a wired pedal with possibility to connect a wireless pedal too, a couple of remote controls to be fixed on the rods, and speed control. It will also have the Autoscan and Link Lock functions. Both rotators use DC12-24V power.

Transducer mount. 0° (zero-degree) transducer mount (included in the set with the “S-Pointer”) can be used to scan water in the “Downward view” and the “Forward view” mode. If you want to use the transducer in the “Perspective view” mode you have to purchase an additional transducer mount that supports this function.

		Worldwide Delivery, except the following countries: Belarus, Russia, Iran, North Korea, etc.
		30-Day Money Back Guarantee The sonar pointer can be returned within 30 days of purchase if it fails to meet your expectations for any reason.
		24 Month Guarantee If your “S-Pointer” needs any warranty repairs within 24 months of purchase we will help you fix any problem with it or will even replace your rotator if it will be necessary.

“S-POINTER” BENEFITS AND FEATURES:

		Matching the sonar beam and pointer directions exactly Make sure the transducer mount has been fitted correctly to the pole so that the forward beam and the pointer are perfectly aligned.
		Four-way boat tilt compensation Maintain an ideal vertical position to ensure accurate and stable sonar reading no matter how the boat tilts. Use the attached bubble level for reference.
		Motorized or manual sonar beam control The S-Pointer features both motorized and manual functions, easily switchable with a single toggle.
		Durable and reliable foot switch The motorized and automated version pedal is wired. And the automated version can be paired with wireless pedal. Using a foot pedal makes it a lot easier to control your live sonar beam while holding a fishing rod with both hands.
		Fix on fishing rod remote control These remote controls are included with the automated "S-Pointer". Used to control the live sonar beam to the left or right and to toggle the autoscan function.
		Automated search (Autoscan) function This function allows the rotator to automatically spin around the live sonar beam left and right by the amplitude of 160° or 360°. You can stop this function immediately by pressing any button on the pedal or remote control. Both motorized and automated models include this feature.
		Adjustable rotation speed Adapt to different fishing conditions. When retrieving the lure, rotate at a slower speed. While scanning for fish, increase the speed.
		Accidental dismount protection Even if the main base screw is not tightened, the "S-Pointer" remains secure.
		Glow-in-the-dark beam direction pointer Never lose sight of your sonar beam direction at night. The rotator has a phosphor arrow that glows for a couple of hours, and can be enhanced using a glow stick for all-night visibility.
		Mount on any side of the boat Use on either side of the boat without adjustments. The transducer should always face the rear of the boat when lifted out of the water.
		Stainless Steel Construction Durable for both freshwater and saltwater environments.
		Waterproof Built to resist water intrusion (note: not for full submersion).
		Suitable for the Gunnel Track System Mount fits any boat equipped with a standard Gunnel Track system.
		Transducer wire protection A spiral protector is included to secure your sonar cable along the rotator pole.
		Link Lock (Target Lock) Function Available with automated models only, this feature locks your sonar beam direction even when your boat turns—ideal when anchored.

LIVE SONAR VIEW MODES

Regardless of the Live Sonar system you are using, there are three ways of searching for fish:

The Downward View Mode

It is the easiest mode, but not ideal for catching trophy fish. By pointing the sonar beam directly under the boat, you can drop your lure vertically, keeping it always visible on the screen. Once a fish appears, you can quickly bring your lure closer to provoke a bite. However, large fish are very sensitive to shadows and noise—especially from trolling motors—so they often escape before you see them in this mode.

The Forward View Mode

You can easily build your own manual Live Sonar mount and use it to locate underwater structures in Forward View mode. However, manual mounts are limited—you can't rotate the beam while retrieving your lure. To track the fish and adjust beam direction while reeling in, you'll need a Motorized Rotational Mount. The S-Pointer makes it possible to steer in real-time, increasing your chance of success significantly. It’s more than an accessory—it’s a necessity.

The Perspective View Mode

Best suited for shallow water, this mode is excellent for spotting schools of baitfish rather than individual predators. A dedicated zero-degree mount allows for easy and quick switching to this view without removing the transducer from the water.
