Sonar View

Sonar View presents a historical log of sonar returns. Depth is always displayed. Readouts for temperature and speed are automatically displayed if the appropriate accessory is connected. The most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the window; as new information is received, the older information is moved across the display to the left. A Digital Depth Readout is displayed in the upper left corner. A scale with Upper and Lower Depth Range readouts appears along the right edge of the Sonar View. The scale indicates the distance from the surface of the water to a depth range sufficient to show the bottom. Depth Range is automatically selected to keep the bottom visible on the display, although you can adjust it manually as well (see Sonar X-Press™ Menu). Five additional Digital Readouts display information from optional- purchase accessories. These information boxes can be customized to show only the information desired (see Setup Menu Tab, Select Readouts).

NOTE: If the Depth number is flashing, it means that the unit is having trouble locating the bottom. This usually happens if the water is too deep, the transducer is out of the water, the boat is moving too fast, or for any other reason that the unit can’t accurately receive continuous data.

Another highlight of the Humminbird 383c is its Fish ID+ technology, which simplifies the process of identifying fish species. This system utilizes sonar returns to provide visual icons representing different types of fish, allowing anglers to quickly assess what’s below. The built-in temperature gauge is yet another valuable feature, providing real-time water temperature readings, which can help in determining the best fishing strategies based on fish behavior.

The unit’s user-friendly interface ensures that even novice anglers can operate it with ease. The menu system is intuitive, allowing users to access essential functions quickly.
