8 Using the echosounder
The Echosounder function provides a view of the water and bottom beneath your vessel,
allowing you to detect fish and examine the structure of the sea floor.
The echosounder displays the water column moving from right to left on the panel.
You can select between single panel view and several split views as described later in
this chapter.

Setting up the Echosounder panel
The echosounder panel is setup from the panel’s main menu.

The range setting determines the water depth that is visible on the screen.
Auto range
If you select Auto, the system will automatically display the whole range from the water
surface to the bottom.
Preset range levels
You can select between several preset range levels.
Custom range
This option allows you to manually set both upper and lower range
limits.
Upper and lower limits
Controls the depth range (lower limit), and lets you choose upper
and lower limits anywhere along the water column. The Upper and
Lower limit must be at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) apart.
