THE VEXILAR DISPLAY
Each FL series asher display consists of multiple colors
(marks) which appear at various positions on the screen.
Understanding what the colors mean, and the position and
size of the colored marks, is the key to being able to interpret
the information correctly.
RED = Strong Strength Signals. Strong signals are
generally produced by signicant underwater objects such as
the bottom, heavy vegetation and large sh. However, smaller
objects, such as bait sh, can display as red if the object is
directly under the transducer.
ORANGE = Medium Strength Signals. Medium
signals are produced by smaller objects and softer bottom
types. Also, medium strength signals can be produced by
larger objects in the immediate area around, but not directly
under, the transducer.
GREEN = Weak Strength Signals. Weak signals are
produced by small objects, such as light vegetation, bait sh, and
even air bubbles or aquatic micro marine life. Larger objects o
to the sides of the transducer can also be displayed as green.
The Zero mark always shows, even if
the transducer is unplugged. This mark
indicates the starting point.
Marks just beyond
the Zero mark can
indicate algae, floating
vegetation, or even “ice
noise” caused by thick
ice conditions.
Bottom is generally
the most prominent
mark on the
display. Bottom
usually starts with
a wide band of red,
with orange and
green trailing.
Read depth here: The current
depth is indicated by the leading
edge of the bottom mark. The
depth is 12 feet in this example.
You read the
display in the
clock-wise
direction. The
farther around
you go, the
deeper the water.
Fish, bait fish, and
even your lure, will
show anywhere
between the Zero mark
and the Bottom mark.
Here, a weak object
shows about a foot
above a much
stronger
object.
Marks beyond the
bottom mark can
indicate either hard
objects within a
soft bottom or large
objects well off to
the side.
Understanding the Display Marks
This is the basics of what you will see on the display.
FLX-28 and FLX-30BB models have additional color options. See page 56 for more information.
