Transducer settings
Nearby vessels equipped with a fishfinder, or certain physical condi-
tions (like hard seabeds), can affect the DSM. Its setup menus
enable you to change settings to allow for this.
Note: The setup options available depend upon the transducer
fitted to your vessel.
Fishfinder settings should not ordinarily require adjustment.
To open the fishfinder transducer settings menu:
1. Make a fishfinder window active.
2. Press and hold the PAGE/MENU button.
3. Use the trackpad to select the Transducer Settings option.
