Sonar Gain
The gain setting controls the sensitivity of the sonar receiver to
compensate for water depth and water clarity. Increasing the
gain shows more detail, and decreasing the gain reduces screen
clutter.
NOTE:
Setting the gain on one sonar view applies the setting to
all the views.

Adjusting the Range of the Depth Scale
You can adjust the range of the depth scale that appears on the
right side of the screen. Automatic ranging keeps the bottom
within the lower third of the sonar screen, and can be useful for
tracking the bottom where there are slow or moderate terrain
changes.
When the depth changes dramatically, like a drop off or cliff,
manually adjusting the range allows a view of a specified depth
range. The bottom is shown on the screen as long as the bottom
is anywhere within the manual range established.
