Side Imaging Range Images shown on the right side of the screen are located on the right side of your boat and images shown on the left side of the screen are located on the left side of your boat In this illustration the sonar is pinging 120 feet on each side a Shadows result from a lack of reflected sonar from a particular area and can be as valuable for interpretation than the sonar reflected by the object itself Use shadows to help you see the image in 3 dimensions oriented in space You can gain insight into the actual shape of an object or the depth to which it has sunk into the bottom through shadows on the display Objects standing on the bottom cast a sonar shadow The longer the shadow the taller the object Fish also cast shadows You can use the shadow to interpret how close the fish is to the bottom a Topography Changes The light part of the display shows where the beam is hitting hard bottom or rising terrain The dark part of the display indicates soft bottom sand mud or descending terrain NOTE Entries in this view that list with lemp Speed or GPS Receiver are available if either device is connected to the Fishfinder If both devices are connected then only the information from the GPS receiver will be displayed on the view 27 What s on the Side Imaging Display Understanding the Side Imaging Display lt is important to understand how S

68. e What s on the Side Imaging Display 30 For Best Performance Use the following tips and examples to help you interpret the Side Imaging display For Best Side Imaging Performance e Boat speed 2 to 6 mph e Straight line navigation e Minimum turning time and wave turbulence Boat speed Side Imaging is best performed at boat speeds between 2 to 6 mph If the boat is stationary the same information is displayed over and over If the boat is moving very quickly there will be gaps between the strips of information The best boat speed to use will depend on the side range selected Slower speeds are good for longer ranges while faster speeds can be used at shorter ranges Boat navigation It is important to understand that when the boat turns successive beam strips to one side will begin to overlap and the strips on the other side will fan out providing some distortion to the image Because of this the best imaging performance is produced by straight line navigation and minimal side to side boat motion i e wave induced etc This applies to navigation by either the main engine or the trolling motor Minimize turning time and avoid wave action that induces large side to side rocking of the boat For example if there is a lot of wave activity try to move the boat so that it is perpendicular to the waves instead of parallel with the waves in order to minimize the side to side rocking of the boat Beam coverage When there is
