Fish I.D.

The Fish I.D. feature displays fish symbols in place of the actual fish echoes. There are three symbol sizes: small, medium and large.

Fish I.D. is an easier way for a sonar novice to recognize a fishy signal return when he sees it.

To see what's under your boat in maximum detail, we recommend you turn off Fish I.D. and begin learning to interpret fish arches.

You may see Fish I.D. symbols on the screen when actually, there are no fish. The reverse is also true — Fish I.D. can actually miss fish that are present.

To turn Fish I.D. on, press MENU until the FISH ID menu appears. Press UP ARROW to select ON, then press PWR. To turn it back off, repeat the above steps, but press DOWN ARROW to select OFF.
