Water Type
(Advanced)
Water Type configures your unit for operation in fresh or salt water. In salt
water, you can also choose the shallow or deep setting. The Water Type menu
option is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Main Menu: User
Mode).
To change the Water Type setting:
1. Make sure the User Mode is set to Advanced, then highlight Water
Type on the Sonar main menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT Cursor keys to change the Water Type setting.
(Fresh, Salt (shallow), Salt (deep), Default = Fresh)
Transducer Select
Transducer Select allows you to choose which
connected transducer you want to use. When you choose a transducer, the
corresponding features will be automatically added to your Fishing System.
Your Fishing System will default to the Compact Side Scan Transducer, which
combines Side Imaging® and DualBeam PLUS™ technology. Your Fishing
System also supports the optional-purchase QuadraBeam PLUS™ transducer
and optional-purchase Universal Sonar 2.
To change the selected Transducer:
1. Highlight Transducer Select on the Sonar main menu.
2. Press the LEFT or RIGHT Cursor keys to change the selected transducer.
(Compact Side Scan, QuadBeam, Universal Sonar 2, Default = Compact
Side Scan)
NOTE: Make sure that the Water Type is set accurately, especially in salt water,
as this affects the accuracy of deep water depth readings. In salt water, what
would be considered a large fish might be 2 to 10 times bigger than a large fish in
fresh water (depending on the type of fish you are seeking). The salt water setting
allows for a greater range in fish size adjustment to account for this difference.
