A hard bottom returns a strong signal which causes a wide gray line.
If you have two signals of equal size, one with color and the other without, then the target with color is the stronger signal. This helps distinguish weeds from trees on the bottom, or fish from structure.

To adjust the Colorline level, press the MENU key, then select “Colorline”. The screen above appears. Use the up or down arrow keys to adjust the color level. You can see the change on the chart record as you press the keys. After you’ve finished, press the EXIT key to erase the menu.
