WideSide® Sonar
(with optional-purchase WideSide® transducer)
Your 700 Series™ Fishing System also supports
WideSide® sonar with the purchase of an
additional WideSide® transducer. The
WideSide® transducer is a specialized "side-
looking" transducer that is extremely useful for
bank fishing or looking for bait fish in open
water. The WideSide® transducer uses three
different sonar elements that transmit signals
to the left, right and straight down from your
boat. The downward beam is 200 kHz with a
24° area of coverage. This beam maintains a
continuous digital depth readout from the
bottom directly beneath your boat. The side
beams are 455 kHz with a 16° area of
coverage. The side-looking elements can be
used independently, or together to locate
targets near the surface of the water on either
side of your boat.
