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
decreased 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 decreased 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.
