Sonar display basics

Bottom: When set to Raw (detailed) sonar display, your Deeper can help you determine whether the bottom is 
hard or soft. When the sonar pulses sent from your Deeper are reflected by the bottom, a hard bottom will return a 
stronger signal than a soft bottom. To properly determine the bottom hardness, please use Narrow or Mid beams 
on your Deeper. Wide beams are not suited to determine bottom hardness.

 

Second sonar return: You may also see a second sonar return: this is caused when the sonar signal bounces 
between the bottom and the surface of the water and back again. Hard bottoms will show a strong second return, 
while soft bottoms will show a very weak one or none at all. To properly determine the bottom hardness, please 
use Narrow or Mid beam angle on your Deeper. Wide beams are not suited to determine bottom hardness.
