What You See on the Display

The PiranhaMAX displays underwater information in an easy-to-understand format. The top of the display corresponds to the water surface at the transducer, and the bottom of the display corresponds to the Depth Range automatically selected for the current water depth. The Bottom Contour varies as the depth under the boat changes. Digital readouts provide precise information for depth, fish, and water temperature.

As the boat moves, terrain and bottom composition variations are displayed. Fish, baitfish, and thermoclines (underwater temperature changes) are displayed when detected. Underwater conditions vary greatly, so some experience and interpretation is needed to realize all the benefits of the PiranhaMAX - use the following illustrations as a guide to the most common conditions and practice using your PiranhaMAX over known bottom types.
