Some of these echoes indicate fish, and others show the bottom. As new echoes are received, the FishFinder “draws” a graph of the bottom. The bottom graph helps you to tell whether the bottom is rising or falling. It also allows you to identify the shape or “structure” of the bottom. This can indicate a reef or shipwreck.

Notice that the scrolling speed of the display does not necessarily match the speed of the boat. The scrolling speed of the display is called the “chart speed.” You can adjust this using the “System Setup Display.” (See Section 4.)

Many of the items on this display appear in the other modes. Since you are likely to use the FishFinder page most often, we will explain all of these items here.

Top of display

Auto features on

(AUTO)

If any of the automatic features are turned on, the “Auto”

 

indication will appear here. (These include the automatic

 

range, auto sensitivity, and auto zoom features.)

Auto range on (R)

The “range” is the maximum depth the unit is set to measure. When the auto range feature is on, the FishFinder chooses the correct range setting automatically.

Transducer frequency

The transducer can use two frequencies - 50 kHz for wide coverage, or 200 kHz for a detailed view. You can also set the unit to use both frequencies at the same time (“dual frequency”). (For more on this, see “Choosing the Fre- quency.”)

Auto sensitivity on (S)

The “sensitivity” controls the ability of the unit to tell the difference between echoes of different strengths. A higher sensitivity setting makes it easier to see smaller fish, but also may pick up background noise. When auto sensitivity is on, the FishFinder chooses the correct sensitivity setting automatically.
