Transducer Angle; Forwardscan Options And Settings - Simrad forwardscan User Manual

Transducer angle

We recommend installing the transducer vertical to the waterline.
In cases where that is not possible, the Transducer Angle setting
helps offset the difference between the transducer angle and the
waterline.
If the transducer is angled toward the front of the vessel, a
positive value (0 to +15°) is entered in the Transducer angle
dialog. If the transducer is angled toward the rear of the vessel,
a negative value (0 to -15°) is entered in the Transducer angle
dialog.
Warning:
Adjustments to the transducer angle value should
be done with caution. Large variations in the transducer angle
value can distort depth data, increasing the risk of striking
underwater obstructions.
