feature is on, they will be indicated by solid fish symbols. (You can turn the

Fish Symbol feature on or off from the System Setup Menu. See Section 4.)

Underwater objects such as submerged tree stumps or rocks can also be

detected by the Sidelooker transducer. These objects usually appear as

thicker vertical targets. The Sidelooker sounding beam is transmitted very

close to the surface of the water. In rough or choppy water this turbulence

may appear on the Sidelooker display as “noise” or “clutter.” The Side-

looker will also display noise or clutter when your boat travels at high

speeds or in very shallow water. For best results, use the Sidelooker at

idle or slow trolling speeds.

Here are the special items on this display:

Boat symbol This is pointing forward on the screen to indicate that, on

the Sidelooker Page, the view is from above, as seen from

a bird’s-eye. The boat symbol appears at the top center of

the Sidelooker View.

Dashed

vertical line The scrolling vertical line is drawn under, or behind, the

boat

symbol to indicate the division between the information

produced by the left and the right sidelooker transducer

elements.

Side range This is the maximum distance the unit will be able to see

using the current range setting. Remember that the sound

waves move out at a shallow angle, so this distance is

measured

sideways

. See Fig. 3-10. The units used here

are chosen using the entry for Depth Units in the System

Setup Menu. If you have selected feet (FT) or fathoms

(FA), the distance shown here will be measured in feet. If

you have selected meters (M), the distance shown here will

be in meters.

Fish echo mark

A line or arch-shaped mark shows that the unit has detected

a fish. In general, a larger mark indicates a larger fish. If the

fish symbols are turned on, the unit will indicate fish using

symbols instead. A number beside each symbol shows the

distance from the boat to the fish. Remember that this

distance is measured

sideways

. See Fig. 3-10.
