Given that the main reason for wanting forward looking sonar is to avoid bumping into things, and given that a sharp lookout is both the traditional and still recommended way to navigate the reefs in many places, it is a wonder to me that I have yet to hear of a camera either used or marketed as a substitute for a crows nest. A continuous video feed from a "crows nest camera" to a screen at the nav station might be a useful thing in any number of situations. I am thinking of something along the lines of a wired GoPro up on the mast or under a spreader. Even 4k cameras aren't all that expensive these days.
