From a sonar screen, select > Zoom > Split Zoom.
definition and thermocline definition can be better when using a higher frequency. Lower frequencies use wider beam widths, which can let the fisherman see more targets, but could also generate more surface noise and reduce bottom signal continuity during rough sea conditions. Wider beam widths generate larger arches for fish target returns, making them ideal for locating fish. Wider beam widths also perform better in deep water, because the lower frequency has better deep water penetration.
Sonar Setup Showing and Adjusting the Depth Line You can show and adjust a horizontal line on a sonar screen. The depth of the line is indicated on the right side of the screen. NOTE: Showing a depth line on one screen displays the depth line on all of the screens. > Sonar Setup > Depth 1 From a sonar screen, select Line. 2 Select . 3 To adjust the Depth Line, select or . Setting the Scroll Speed You can set the rate at which the sonar image moves across the screen.
Surface noise is caused by interference between the to help transducer and water. You can hide surface noise reduce clutter. Wider beam widths (lower frequencies) can show more targets, but can generate more surface noise. TVG: Reduces surface noise. This control is best used for situations when you want to control and suppress clutter or noise near the water surface. It also allows for the display of targets near the surface that are otherwise hidden or masked by surface noise.
When you share a contour map, only the contour map is shared. Your waypoints are not shared.

1 Lightly sand the transducer and mounting hardware with a Garmin ClearVü Transducer Transom/ Trolling Motor Mount fine-grit abrasive pad. 2 Wipe the transducer and mounting hardware with isopropyl alcohol. Apply water-based anti-fouling paint to the transducer and 3 mounting hardware.
Installing the Transom-Mount Hardware NOTICE If you are mounting the bracket on fiberglass with screws, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are tightened. The cables connected to the transducer should not be cut, because cutting the transducer cables voids your warranty. 1 Cut out the template.
2 Drive the boat at a slow speed. If the chartplotter appears to 3 4 5 6 7 be working properly, gradually increase speed while observing the chartplotter. If the sonar signal is suddenly lost or the bottom return is severely degraded, note the speed at which this occurs. Return the boat to the speed at which the signal was lost, and make moderate turns in both directions while observing the chartplotter. If the signal strength improves while turning, adjust the transducer so that it extends another 1/8 in.
