Sonar Fishfinder When properly connected to a compatible transducer, your chartplotter can be used as a fishfinder. For more information about which transducer is best for your needs, go to garmin.com/transducers. Different sonar views can help you view the fish in the area. The sonar views available vary depending on the type of transducer and sounder module connected to the chartplotter.
Garmin ClearVü Sonar View NOTE: To receive Garmin ClearVü scanning sonar, you need a compatible transducer. For information about compatible transducers, go to garmin.com/transducers. Garmin ClearVü high-frequency sonar provides a detailed picture of the fishing environment around the boat in a detailed representation of structures the boat is passing over. Traditional transducers emit a conical beam.
Flasher View The flasher shows sonar information on a circular depth scale, indicating what is beneath your boat. It is organized as a ring that starts at the top and progresses clockwise. Depth is indicated by the scale inside the ring. Sonar information flashes on the ring when it is received at the depth indicated. The flasher colors indicate different strengths of the sonar return.
Selecting the Transducer Type This chartplotter is compatible with a range of accessory transducers, including the Garmin ClearVü transducers, which are available at garmin.com/transducers. If you are connecting a transducer that was not included with the chartplotter, you may need to set the transducer type to make the sonar function properly. NOTE: Not all chartplotters and sonar modules support this feature.
Viewing Sonar History You can scroll the sonar display to view historical sonar data. NOTE: Not all transducers save historical sonar data. 1 From a sonar view, hold to scroll through the history. 2 Select BACK to exit history. Adjusting the Level of Detail You can control the level of detail and noise shown on the sonar screen either by adjusting the gain for traditional transducers or by adjusting the brightness for Garmin ClearVü transducers.
Sonar Setup NOTE: Not all options and settings apply to all models and transducers. These settings apply to the following types of transducers. • Traditional • Garmin ClearVü From a sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup. Scroll Speed: Sets the rate at which the sonar scrolls from right to left (Setting the Scroll Speed, page 47). In shallow water, you can select a slower scroll speed to extend the length of time the information is displayed on screen. In deeper water, you can select a faster scroll speed.
Setting the Scroll Speed You can set the rate at which the sonar image moves across the screen. A higher scroll speed shows more detail until there is no additional detail to show, at which point it starts stretching out the existing detail. This can be useful while moving or trolling, or when you are in very deep water where the sonar is pinging very slowly. A lower scroll speed displays sonar information on the screen longer.
Sonar Noise Rejection Settings From a sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup > Noise Reject. Interference: Adjusts the sensitivity to reduce the effects of interference from nearby sources of noise. The lowest interference setting that achieves the desired improvement should be used to remove interference from the screen. Correcting installation issues that cause noise is the best way to eliminate interference. Color Limit: Hides part of the color palette to help eliminate fields of weak clutter.
Sonar Alarms WARNING The sonar alarms feature is a tool for situational awareness only and may not prevent grounding in all circumstances. It is your obligation to ensure safe operation of the vessel. CAUTION The Beeper setting must be turned on to make alarms audible (Sounds and Display Settings, page 53). Failure to set audible alarms could lead to injury or property damage. NOTE: Not all options are available on all transducers. From an applicable sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup > Alarms.
Sonar Frequencies NOTE: The frequencies available depend on the transducers being used. Adjusting the frequency helps adapt the sonar for your particular goals and the present depth of the water. Higher frequencies use narrow beam widths, and are better for high-speed operation and rough sea conditions. Bottom definition and thermocline definition can be better when using a higher frequency.
Turning On the A-Scope NOTE: This feature is available in the Traditional sonar views. The a-scope is a vertical flasher along the right side of the view, showing you what is underneath the transducer right now. You can use the a-scope to identify target returns that may be missed when the sonar data is quickly scrolling across the screen, such as when your boat is moving at high speeds. It can also be helpful for detecting fish that are close to the bottom.

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.
