What’s on the Side Imaging Display

(1197c SI Combo models only)

Side Imaging displays a number of easily recognizable features that allow for accurate interpretation of sonar return. For example, rock and gravel provide a clearer sonar return than mud and sand because of that face away from the transducer. You can find a number of easily recognizable features on the Side following items:

1 Depth - water depth; can be set to alarm when the

10

water becomes too shallow.

 

2Temperature - water surface temperature

3Speed - if a Speed accessory or GPS Receiver is attached, the 1100 Series™ can display the speed of the boat, and can keep a triplog of nautical or statute miles traveled.

4Course - the current direction the boat is traveling measured in degrees from North.

The water column shows the relative depth of the

 

 

 

water under the boat at a given time. Variations in the

 

 

 

width of the water column show variations in the

 

 

 

distance to the bottom as the boat passes over.

 

 

9 Shadows result from a lack of reflected sonar from

 

 

 

a particular area, and can be more 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.
