only; the right transducer output is ignored. The recommended Range setting on the PC is 10 m. The fish is
towed 1-2 m below the bottom of the boat hull. In most cases, two passes along the length of the boat hull
is required, one pass along one side of the hull and a pass going the other direction along the other side.
