Page 109: Chapter 5: Using The Fishfinder
Chapter 5: Using the Fishfinder 5.1 Introduction This chapter describes how the Fishfinder uses sonar to see fish, bottom structure and texture, and underwater obstructions such as wrecks. The standard fishfinder image is a historical, scrolling bottom graph at an automatically selected range and frequency.
Page 110: What Can The Fishfinder Show Me
5.3 What can the fishfinder show me? When you first view the fishfinder application, an image representing the echoes seen by the DSM is displayed. As time passes this image scrolls from right to left and becomes a record of the echoes seen. The images at the right hand side of the display are therefore the most recent.
Page 111: Interpreting The Bottom Structure
Interpreting the bottom structure The bottom usually produces a strong echo. These images indicate the bottom conditions as follows:. A hard bottom (sand) produces a thin line A soft bottom (mud or seaweed cover) produces a wide line. The dark layer indicates a strong signal. A rocky or uneven bottom or a wreck produces an irregular image with peaks and troughs The dark layers indicate a good echo;...
Page 112: Factors Impairing A Fishfinder Picture
This is known as background noise or clutter and is controlled by the gain modes (gain, color gain and TVG). Raymarine recommends that you allow your system to automatically control the ideal sensitivity level based on depth and water conditions.

Pre-defined zoom factor Select x2, x3 or x4 for a predefined zoom level. The greater the factor, the smaller the area you are viewing and therefore the smaller the zoom box.
Page 117: Simplifying The Bottom Image
Simplifying the bottom image When you are looking for fish that feed close to the bottom, you can use the Bottom Lock function to filter out and flatten the bottom structure and display the fish (or any other objects directly above the bottom) more clearly. Bottom Lock is selected for individual fishfinder windows and can either replace (ON) or appear alongside (SPLIT) the standard fishfinder image.

Page 128: Other Settings Affecting The Fishfinder Image
5.9 Other settings affecting the fishfinder image The system automatically adjusts the following settings in order to optimize the fishfinder image: • Operating frequency. • Gain modes (Gain, Color Gain, TVG) • Power setting. They should not ordinarily require adjustment. You can however make adjustments manually if required.
Page 129: Gain Modes
Dual frequency mode In dual frequency mode the DSM pings at the same rate but alternates between 200 kHz and 50 kHz. This allows you to select the required frequency(s) - 50kHz, 200 kHz or BOTH for each individual fishfinder window. Combine this mode with the zoom, bottom lock and A-scope functions to customize each fishfinder window to meet your particular requirements or fishing conditions.
Page 130 The gain, or sensitivity, of the display adjusts background noise by varying the echo strength for display. The value of the GAIN control determines the strength above which echoes are displayed. There are three AUTO GAIN modes: • Low is ideal for viewing fishfinder images with a minimum of background noise as you are cruising to your fishing spot.
Page 131: Adjusting The Power Setting
TVG (Time Varied Gain) The TVG (Time Variable Gain) reduces the clutter by varying the gain throughout the water column. This function is useful for reducing the appearance of ‘noise’. Increasing the TVG value increases the maximum depth to which TVG is applied. Decreasing it reduces the maximum depth.

Page 134: Maximum Radar Range
Maximum radar range Maximum radar range is essentially line-of-sight, so is limited by the height of the scanner and the height of the target as illustrated below: Radar R max R max = radar horizon of antenna ( The table below shows typical maximum radar ranges for various radar antenna heights and target heights.
Page 135 Side lobes Side lobe patterns are produced by small amounts of energy from the transmitted pulses that are radiated outside the narrow main beam. The effects of side lobes are most noticeable with targets at short ranges (normally below 3 nm), and in particular with larger objects. Side lobe echoes form either arcs on the radar screen similar to range rings, or a series of echoes forming a broken arc.
Page 136 C-Series Display Reference Manual Multiple echoes Multiple echoes are not very common but can occur if there is a large target with a wide vertical surface at a comparatively short range. The transmitted signal will be reflected back and forth between the target and your own ship, resulting in multiple echoes, displayed beyond the range of the true target echo, but on the same bearing.
Page 137 Chapter 6: Using the Radar Rain or snow clutter The radar can see echoes from rain or snow. Returns from storm areas and rain squalls consist of countless small echoes that continuously change size, intensity and position. These returns sometimes appear as large hazy areas, depending on the intensity of the rainfall or snow in the storm cell.

6.4 The radar picture You will need heading and position data for full functionality of your radar. A fast heading sensor is also needed for operation of MARPA and can maximize the performance of radar/chart overlay. With your radar scanner connected and the radar in transmit mode, the radar picture, provides a map-like representation of the area in which the radar is operating e.g.

from the coastline. Although the coastline may be much nearer, it may not appear on the radar until the vessel is closer to shore. • Some targets, such as buoys and small boats, can be difficult to discern, because they do not present a consistent reflecting surface as they bob and toss about in the waves.

Page 145: Auto Mode
Radar echoes from waves around your boat can clutter the centre of the radar picture, making it difficult to detect real targets (see Adjusting the sea mode will reduce this clutter for up to 5 nautical miles (depending on wave and sea conditions) from your boat. This has the effect of reducing the sea echoes to intermittent small dots whilst small targets remain visible and persistent.

Page 151: Using Vrms And Ebls
Chapter 6: Using the Radar ... Using VRMs and EBLs What is a VRM? A Variable Range Marker (VRM) is a circle centred on your vessel’s position and fixed with respect to the heading mode. When this circle is adjusted to align with a target, its range from your boat is measured and displayed on the ADJUST VRM soft key.
Page 152 Tracking a target with a VRM/EBL You will be able to tell which way the target is traveling by watching how it moves in relation to the EBL. If it continues traveling directly along the EBL, it shows that it is on a possible collision course with your boat - take the appropriate action.
Page 153: Using Floating Vrms/Ebls
... Using floating VRMs/EBLs You can use the VRM/EBL float function to measure the range and bearing between any two points on the radar screen. This function allows you to move the VRM/EBL centre away from your boat’s position and onto a target. You can then change the radius of the VRM to determine the distance between two points and change the angle of the EBL, relative to its new origin, to obtain the bearing.

Page 157: Marpa
The better the quality of the heading and speed data, the better MARPA will perform. MARPA will function without SOG and COG in relative mode. For the best heading data a Raymarine SMART heading sensor or a gyro-stabilized autopilot is required.
Page 158 How is a risk assessed? Each target is monitored to see if it will be within a certain distance from your boat within a certain time. If so, the target is designated as dangerous and an audible warning is sounded along with an on-screen warning being shown. The target symbol changes to the dangerous target symbol and flashes to indicate that it is a dangerous target.
Page 159 CPA graphics CPA graphics show vectors for your vessel and a selected target. A vector is a line on- screen showing the predicted courses of your vessel and the selected target if you both remain on your present course. These vectors vary in length due to boat speed and vector length set in the MARPA Setup menu.
