Fish

arches and/or fish icons, and can be set to

detected. When a target is detected, a
Fish ID+™ symbol appears on the display

of the symbol indicates the intensity of
the sonar return. The unit will clearly
show schools of Bait Fish as “clouds” of
different shapes and sizes, depending on
the number of fish and boat speed.
