Bottom Presentation

As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the Bottom Contour. The type of bo ttom can be determined from the return charted on the display. A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the display. A Soft Bottom such as mud or sand appears as a thicker line across the display. Rocky Bottoms have a broken, random appearance.

The sonar returns from the bott om, structure, and fish can be represented as either WhiteLine™ or Structure ID®. See Sonar Menu Tab: Bottom View for details on how to set the bottom view.
