Sea Surface Reflections

To reduce sea surface reflections, set the tilt angle to 5

°

or higher,

so the upper edge of the sonar beam does not hit the sea surface,
or adjust TVG. When a narrow tilt angle is used, sea surface
reflections cover a large area as illustrated below.

Wake

A wake produced by own ship or another ship can be a strong
reflecting object when a narrow tilt angle is used. As the wake
appears as a thick continuous line, it can be easily distinguished
from a fish school. A wake contains many air bubbles which
attenuate ultrasonic energy, making it difficult to sound beyond
the wake.
