17. FISH FINDER
The Fish Finder consists of a high power transmitter, sensitive receiver and a transducer.
The Fish Finder sends an electrical pulse to the transducer, which contains an element that
converts the pulse into acoustic (sound) waves, which is sent through the water. As this
wave travels from the transducer to the bottom, it may strike fish, structures, thermoclines
(temperature changes in the water). When the wave strikes an object(s) a certain amount
of the wave is reflected back to the transducer depending on the composition and shape of
the object. When the reflected wave is returned to the transducer it is converted into a
voltage and is amplified by the receiver, processed and sent to the display. The speed of
sound in water is roughly 4800Ft/sec, so the time lapse between the transmitted signal and
the received echo can be measured and the distance to the object determined.
