    ¹⁄₄ of a second. It is unlikely that your boat can "outrun" this sonar signal. DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar Your Matrix 67 Fishing System is shipped with a 200/83 kHz DualBeam PLUS sonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage. DualBeam PLUS sonar returns can be blended together, viewed separately or compared side-by-side.

    WideSide Sonar (with Optional-Purchase WideSide Transducer) Your Matrix 67 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.
