Transducers
The transducer acts as the eyes and ears of your sonar, transmitting sound waves toward the bottom in a cone shape. Proper transducer selection and installation are important to the operation of your unit. It is best to select a transducer that suits the depth of the water that you are on.
A wide cone angle transducer works best in shallower water, providing a large coverage or viewing area, but at a decreased bottom resolution. In deep water this can result in a large area where fish cannot be seen.
A narrow cone angle transducer is better suited to deep water installations, providing a smaller coverage or viewing area than a wide cone transducer, but with improved bottom resolution and a smaller dead zone.
