• Whiteline Adjust: Whiteline indicates the relative hardness or softness of the bottom.
The bottom itself is shown as a continuous black line, while the whiteline shows up as
a light gray band just below. The whiteline becomes thicker or thinner depending on
bottom hardness. A thin or absent whiteline indicates a soft bottom (muddy or
weedy), while a thick whiteline shows a hard bottom.
Adjusting the whiteline lets you distinguish between strong and weak echoes which
will allow you to tell the difference between a hard and soft bottom. Since whiteline
shows the difference between strong and weak signals, adjusting the sensitivity may
require a different whiteline level. The default whiteline setting is 5%. Five percent
typically provides the best picture under current conditions. For more control, you
can add or subtract the amount of whiteline as described in the steps below. As with
sensitivity, experiment with whiteline to find the setting that's best for your condi-
tions.
