Displays fish echoes as fish symbols instead of
fish arches with or without depth. This makes

Symbols — places a fish symbol where a
fish is detected.
Depths — places depths above each fish
detected; helps gauge the distance from each
fish symbol to the boat.
Both — turns on both Symbols and Depths.
