New images of the supernova remnant (SNR) G351.7+0.8 are presented based on 21-cm Hi-line emission and continuum emission data from the Southern Galactic Plane Survey. SNR G351.7+0.8 has a flux density of 8.4±0.7Jy at 1420MHz. Its spectral index is 0.52±0.25 (S = v^–α) between 1420 and 843 MHz, typical of adiabatically expanding shell-like remnants. Hi observations show structures possibly associated with the SNR in the radial velocity range of -10 to -18km/s, and suggest a distance of 13.2kpc and a radius of 30.7pc. The estimated Sedov age for G351.7+0.8 is less than 6.8x10⁴ yr. A young radio pulsar PSR J1721-3532 lies close to SNR G351.7+0.8 on the sky. The new distance and age of G351.7+0.8 and recent proper motion measurements of the pulsar strongly argue against an association between SNR G351.7+0.8 and PSR J1721-3532. There is an unidentified, faint X-ray point source 1RXS J172055.3-353937 which is close to G351.7+0.8. This may be a neutron star potentially associated with G351.7+0.8.
