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 bottom contour and structure. For Side Imaging rock and gravel provide a clearer sonar return than mud and sand because of their relative density. Upward slopes that face the transducer reflect son a number of easily recognizable features on the Side Imaging display that allow for accurate interpretation of bottom contour and structure, includin

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

8The 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.

9Shadows 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.

This feature is particularly beneficial for identifying underwater structures such as rocks, wrecks, and weed beds, which are often hotspots for fish.

Another innovative component of the 1197C SI is its DualBeam PLUS sonar. This technology provides both a narrow and a wide beam, giving users the versatility to search for fish over a broader area while also honing in on specific targets. The combination of Side Imaging and DualBeam sonar results in an impressive level of detail and accuracy in fish detection.

The 1197C SI also boasts a large 10.4-inch color display, providing crisp visuals and easy navigation through the various features. The screen is designed for easy reading in bright sunlight, ensuring that anglers can rely on it no matter the fishing conditions. Additionally, the unit supports a variety of view options, allowing users to select from different display modes to suit their preferences.

Integration with GPS is another key characteristic of the Humminbird 1197C SI. Built-in GPS capabilities allow anglers to mark waypoints, create routes, and access detailed maps and charts. This feature not only aids in navigation but also helps anglers return to successful fishing spots with ease.

The 1197C SI is also equipped with advanced networking capabilities, enabling it to connect with other devices, such as additional sonar units or autopilot systems. This increases the overall functionality and enhances the fishing experience by providing a more integrated system.

In conclusion, the Humminbird 1197C SI stands out for its advanced technologies such as Side Imaging, DualBeam sonar, and comprehensive GPS capabilities. With its large display and user-friendly interface, it has become an essential tool for anglers looking to increase their success on the water. With lasting durability and a wealth of features, the 1197C SI is a smart investment for serious fishing enthusiasts.
