1.19 Fish Information
(Accu Fish)
The Accu Fish feature, available with the
transducer 50/200-1T, estimates fish length,
displaying an appropriately sized fish symbol
together with digital depth value or fish length.
The information presented by this feature is
intended for reference purposes only; it is not
a completely accurate measurement of fish
length.
1.19.1 Consideration for fish
information
• If the indicated fish is different from the ac-
tual fish size, you can compensate for this
on the Accu Fish menu.
• When Accu Fish is enabled, 50 kHz and
200 kHz frequencies are transmitted alter-
nately, even if a single frequency mode is in
use.
• Fish within the zero line area are not mea-
sured.
• To reduce error, the detection area should
be approx. 6 to 330 feet from the surface.
• With the inside-hull transducer, signal at-
tenuation is different between 50 kHz and
200 kHz. Therefore, a fish may not be de-
tected or the fish length indicated may be
smaller than actual length.
• In case of a fish school, echoes overlap one
another, so the margin of error will be great-
er.
• The fish symbol indication is not shown
when the bottom is not displayed on the
screen.
