    5.3 Towfish Deployment The 2300 is ruggedly built, but care is needed to deploy the 2300 system and get the best survey results. This involves adjusting the bridle to the 90⁰ position, carefully lowering it to an ideal survey depth, utilizing and monitoring the Discover Bottom Tracking feature to avoid striking the bottom, and carefully recovering and disconnecting the towfish when the survey is completed.
  • Page 64 NOTE: For detailed information about the Discover software, including how to record data, refer to the “Discover 2300 Software Manual.” To deploy the Towfish: 1. Ensure the towfish bridle is in the 90⁰ position. Instructions on how to adjust the bridle angle can be found in the section of this manual.
