WideSide® Sonar

(with optional-purchase WideSide® transducer)

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System also supports WideSide® sonar with the purchase of an additional WideSide® transducer. The WideSide® transducer is a specialized "side- looking" transducer that is extremely useful for bank fishing or looking for bait fish in open water. The WideSide® transducer uses three different sonar elements that transmit signals to the left, right and straight down from your boat. The downward beam is 200 kHz with a 24° area of coverage. This beam maintains a continuous digital depth readout from the bottom directly beneath your boat. The side beams are 455 kHz with a 16° area of coverage. The side-looking elements can be used independently, or together to locate targets near the surface of the water on either side of your boat.
