The challenge

Manual transducer control is the weak point in every live sonar setup.

Live sonar gives anglers a real advantage — but only when the transducer rotator keeps up. Kona Compass replaces constant manual correction with motorized heading control that reacts instantly when direction needs to change.

  • Difficult to hold a stable direction on target
  • Too much manual correction while actively fishing
  • Slow reaction when fish or conditions change
  • Attention pulled away from the water

How it works

Kona Compass makes live-sonar control feel natural.

Simple controls, heading-based positioning, and a straightforward workflow make Kona Compass easy to understand as a heading-based control system.

Operating modes

Manual

Direct control over transducer direction. Instant response, full command.

Direction Hold

Holds the set direction automatically. Reduces constant correction in current or wind.

Auto Search

Sweeps a configurable sector automatically. Covers water without continuous input.

Direction Lock

Locks a chosen direction precisely. For repeatable, fixed positioning.

Controls

Main button

Switches between operating modes

Control pedal

Adjusts speed and sector width

Wireless remote

Full control from anywhere on the boat

Kona Compass hardware detail

Construction

Engineered for demanding conditions on the water.

1

Sealed housing

Hermetically sealed marine-grade housing. Protects internal sensors and motor from saltwater, spray, and humidity.

2

100% stainless steel. Zero aluminum.

Every structural component is high-grade stainless steel. Aluminum is completely absent — eliminating galvanic corrosion risk in saltwater and mixed-metal environments.

3

Speed protection

Mounting bracket automatically folds at higher boat speeds to protect both the transducer and the rotator assembly.

4

Maintenance-free internals

Wear components use modern composite materials with integrated low-friction elements. No greasing, no servicing — ready to run every time.

5

Extreme temperature range

Operates reliably down to −10°C for winter fishing and withstands storage up to +60°C in a sun-exposed boat.

6

Ambidextrous mounting

Controls and indicators are fully symmetric — mount on port or starboard without disassembly or re-routing. Works identically on either side.
