feature is on, they will be indicated by solid fish symbols. (You can turn the Fish Symbol feature on or off from the System Setup Menu. See Section 4.)

Underwater objects such as submerged tree stumps or rocks can also be detected by the Sidelooker transducer. These objects usually appear as thicker vertical targets. The Sidelooker sounding beam is transmitted very close to the surface of the water. In rough or choppy water this turbulence may appear on the Sidelooker display as “noise” or “clutter.” The Side- looker will also display noise or clutter when your boat travels at high speeds or in very shallow water. For best results, use the Sidelooker at idle or slow trolling speeds.

Here are the special items on this display:

Boat symbol This is pointing forward on the screen to indicate that, on the Sidelooker Page, the view is from above, as seen from a bird’s-eye. The boat symbol appears at the top center of the Sidelooker View.

Dashed

vertical line The scrolling vertical line is drawn under, or behind, the boat symbol to indicate the division between the information produced by the left and the right sidelooker transducer elements.

Side range This is the maximum distance the unit will be able to see using the current range setting. Remember that the sound waves move out at a shallow angle, so this distance is measured sideways. See Fig. 3-10. The units used here are chosen using the entry for Depth Units in the System Setup Menu. If you have selected feet (FT) or fathoms (FA), the distance shown here will be measured in feet. If you have selected meters (M), the distance shown here will be in meters.

Fish echo mark

 

A line or arch-shaped mark shows that the unit has detected

 

a fish. In general, a larger mark indicates a larger fish. If the

 

fish symbols are turned on, the unit will indicate fish using

 

symbols instead. A number beside each symbol shows the

 

distance from the boat to the fish. Remember that this

 

distance is measured sideways. See Fig. 3-10.
