    Chapter 4: Fishfinder Operations Chapter 4: Fishfinder Operations 4.1 Introduction Basic Fishfinder operation, including a description of the different display options, was given in Chapter 3. This chapter helps you the get the most from your Fishfinder. It describes how to fine-tune the image and use the controls to get additional information.

  • Page 94: Fish Indications

    Series Fishfinders The Fishfinder provides a White Line feature which helps to distinguish between the bottom and fish (or other items such as weed) that are close to the bottom. Fish Indications When the Fishfinder detects a fish, it displays an arch-shaped mark. In general, a larger arch indicates a larger fish, though this rule is not always true.

  • Page 95: Bottom Indications

    Chapter 4: Fishfinder Operations Effect of Frequency and Boat Speed The return from a fish has a different appearance depending on the frequency used: 50kHz produces a wide beam, so a fish spotted by this frequency gives a broad arch; the 200 kHz beam is narrower so the same fish produces a narrower arch.

  • Page 96: Using White Line

    Series Fishfinders An uneven bottom which is covered with rocks or coral produces a complex display; the bottom image is irregular, with long tails pointing upward. A wreck produces a similar image. A softer bottom or a bottom covered with seaweed produces a wide line, as the sound waves reflect from different layers of the bottom.

  • Page 97: Color Gain

    Chapter 4: Fishfinder Operations The color bar on the right hand side of the display, when set to ON in the Fishfinder Set Up menu (see Section 7.4), shows the colors being used, with strongest echo color at the top and the weakest echo color at the bottom. The height of each bar indicates the range of signal strengths displayed in that color.
  • Page 98 Series Fishfinders Note: The color LCD Fishfinder also provides a COLOR THRESHOLD control to reduce the number of colors displayed. You can use COLOR THRESHOLD with COLOR GAIN to determine how echoes are displayed. The Fishfinder provides automatic or manual COLOR GAIN adjustment. Automatic adjustment displays colors based on current conditions, with as many colors as possible, while minimizing noise and clutter.
