Bottom Presentation

As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create
a profile of the 

Bottom Contour

. The type of bottom can be determined from the

return charted on the display. A 

Hard Bottom

such as compacted sediment or flat

rock appears as a thinner line across the display. A 

Soft Bottom

such as mud or

sand appears as a thicker line across the display. 

Rocky Bottoms

have a broken,

random appearance.

The sonar returns from the bottom, structure and fish can be represented as
either 

WhiteLine® 

or

Structure ID®

. See 

Sonar Menu Tab: Bottom View

for

details on how to set the bottom view. 

Bottom Contour Profile with RTS® Window. 

Temp/Speed Accessory is optional.
