Chapter 4: Fishfinder Operations 4-1 Chapter 4: Fishfinder Operations 4.1 Introduction Basic Fishfinder operation, including a description of the different display options, was given in Chapter 3. This chapter helps you the get the most from your Fishfinder. It describes how to fine-tune the image and use the controls to get additional information.
4-2 hsb2 Plus Series Fishfinders The Fishfinder provides a White Line feature which helps to distinguish between the bottom and fish (or other items such as weed) that are close to the bottom. Fish Indications Fish Indications When the Fishfinder detects a fish, it displays an arch-shaped mark. In general, a larger arch indicates a larger fish, though this rule is not always true. Let’s say that there are two fish of the same size: one is close to the surface, the other is near the bottom.
Chapter 4: Fishfinder Operations 4-3 Effect of Frequency and Boat Speed The shape of the arch is also affected by the speed of the boat. If the boat is moving slowly, the arches tend to be longer; if the boat is moving more quickly, the arches are short and peaked. If the boat is moving very fast, a fish may be indicated by a single vertical line. In Bottom lock mode the fish arches may appear distorted as the bottom topography is removed from the image.
4-4 hsb2 Plus Series Fishfinders An uneven bottom which is covered with rocks or coral produces a complex display; the bottom image is irregular, with long tails pointing upward. A wreck produces a similar image. A softer bottom or a bottom covered with seaweed produces a wide line, as the sound waves reflect from different layers of the bottom. In Figure 4.2b, the Fishfinder is getting a good echo from the bottom, so the upper layer of the bottom is shown as dark gray.
Chapter 4: Fishfinder Operations 4-5 The color bar on the right hand side of the display, when set to ON in the Fishfinder Set Up menu (see Section 7.4), shows the colors being used, with strongest echo color at the top and the weakest echo color at the bottom. The height of each bar indicates the range of signal strengths displayed in that color. AUTO 80% MULTI GAIN GAIN Gain The GAIN, or sensitivity, of the display adjusts background noise by varying echo strength for display.
4-6 hsb2 Plus Series Fishfinders Note: The color LCD Fishfinder also provides a COLOR THRESHOLD control to reduce the number of colors displayed. You can use COLOR THRESHOLD with COLOR GAIN to determine how echoes are displayed. The Fishfinder provides automatic or manual COLOR GAIN adjustment. Automatic adjustment displays colors based on current conditions, with as many colors as possible, while minimizing noise and clutter. As conditions change the auto-color gain adjusts.
Chapter 4: Fishfinder Operations 4-7 4.3 Fishfinder Data Window The Fishfinder can display various measurements in large format data boxes. Use the DISPLAY key options to select a data window that is vertically split with the full-screen fishfinder display. Three data windows are available, each window provides several large-format data boxes for specific information as follows: 50kHz 0 POSITION WAYPOINT 81°06^34W 28°17^07N Rng 2.95nm Brg 093°T F 20.
4-8 hsb2 Plus Series Fishfinders 4.4 Using Alarms ALARMS MULTI The ALARMS key is used to set up alarms; three alarms are available to alert you of fish, shallow water and deep water. Each alarm can be toggled ON and OFF, and you set the depth at which shallow and deep water alarms are triggered (between the ranges 2–3000 feet/0.5–500 fathoms/1–1000 meters). You may want to use the shallow and deep water alarms when you are anchored.
Chapter 4: Fishfinder Operations ➤ 4-9 To set an alarm 1. Press the ALARMS key. The alarms soft keys are displayed. ALARMS FISH ALARM OFF ON SHALLOW ALARM DEEP ALARM 2.

4-10 hsb2 Plus Series Fishfinders The distance-from-boat continues to update as your boat moves. However, the vertical line does not scroll with the scrolling fishfinder image. If the display range changes, the VRM adjusts its relative position so that it does not move out of the visible display area. When you switch on the VRM, it is displayed at its last position (unless off screen, then it is displayed on-screen).
Chapter 4: Fishfinder Operations 4-11 4.6 Waypoints The MARKS key lets you to place up to 998 waypoints. A waypoint is a position, normally entered on a chart as a reference, or as a place to go to. However, the hsb2 Plus Series units with Raychart functionality (L755RC Plus, L760RC Plus, and L1250RC Plus) let you place waypoints in Fishfinder mode as well as Chartplotter mode.

The current units are shown for the heading value in the status bar at the top of the screen. Cursor Readout This option controls whether the cursor data is shown in latitude and longitude or in range and bearing. Alternatively, you can show both types of readout, in separate boxes, or turn the cursor data box off.
7-8 hsb2 Plus Series Fishfinders MOB Data MOB Data This option controls whether MOB data is based on position data, or on dead reckoning (DR). Dead reckoning normally provides a better indication of the course to an object in the water, on the assumption that your vessel and the object are both subject to the same tide and wind effects. Autopilot Pop Up This option controls whether or not the autopilot pop up is displayed.
Chapter 7: Setting Up the System Defaults 7-9 • If heading data is being taken from NMEA, but no NMEA variation is available, then variation is taken from SeaTalk • If heading is taken from SeaTalk, but no SeaTalk variation is available, then variation is taken from NMEA 3. A calculated variation value, using position data, if no SeaTalk or NMEA value is available 4.
7-10 hsb2 Plus Series Fishfinders NMEA-Out Set Up For example, if the DPT (depth) sentence is set ON but the fishfinder’s transducer is designed to sense temperature and speed only, the depth value will be transmitted as zero. If you also have an ST60 Depth instrument installed, there may be confusion between the zero depth sent by the fishfinder and the actual depth sent by the ST60. Turning OFF the DPT sentence disables the reading from the fishfinder.
Chapter 7: Setting Up the System Defaults 7-11 You can set up an integrated system so that radar and chartplotter displays connected via SeaTalk can display each other’s cursors. Cursor echo functions so that you can display a chart cursor on the radar picture, or a radar cursor on the chart picture (you cannot display a remote radar cursor in a radar window nor a remote chart cursor in a chart window).
7-12 hsb2 Plus Series Fishfinders Compass Set Up Slow moving vessels, or vessels sailing in rough seas will benefit from a high setting, whereas a power boat that can quickly change speed and direction will benefit from a low setting. Select the SOG/COG filter setting as required. This can be set to HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW. Compass Set Up This option is used to calibrate a Raymarine heading sensor such as the Pathfinder Smart Heading System.
