Auto zoom on (Z)

The “zoom” can be used to magnify the image from a small section of the water below the boat. (This is used with the Zoom display, which we will describe in a moment.) When the auto zoom feature is on, the FishFinder automatically moves the zoom window up or down to track the bottom.

Fish symbol on

When the FishFinder sees a fish, it can show this by displaying a fish symbol. When the fish symbol feature is turned off, the FishFinder indicates a fish as an arch- shaped line on the display. For more information, see the section on “Fish Indications.”

Boat symbol This symbol is always turned on. It indicates that the new information appears at the right edge of the display, and the older information moves toward the left.

Center of display

Water surface This symbol (“0”) shows the depth indicated by the top of the display. Usually, this is the level of the surface of the water. (If the Zoom feature is turned on, this will show the depth of the top of the zoom area.) The depth is shown using the same units as the rest of the display. This could be feet (FT), fathoms (FA), or meters (M), depending on the setting you make in the System Setup display.

Depth markers

These markers show depths between the surface and the full depth range. In this example, the unit is set for a depth range of 100 feet. This means that each of the depth markers shows an interval of 20 feet.

Fish symbol This indicates that the FishFinder sees a fish. Generally, the larger the fish symbol appears, the larger the fish. (The size of the fish symbol actually depends on a number of factors. See the section on “Fish Indications.”)
