What’s on the Sonar Display
Thermoclines - Layers of water with different
temperatures that appear at different depths and
different times of the year. A thermocline typically
appears as a continuous band of many colors moving
across the display at the same depth.
Sonar Color Bar - Color spectrum indicating low
to high sonar intensity returns, where red indicates
high intensity and white indicates low intensity.
Bait Ball
RTS (Real Time Sonar) Window
Second Sonar Return - When the sonar signal
bounces between the bottom and the surface of the
water and back again. Use the appearance of the
second return to determine bottom hardness. Hard
bottoms will show a strong second return, while soft
bottoms will show a very weak one or none at all.
Cursor - Available in Freeze Frame and can be
positioned in the Sonar View to provide depth of a
sonar return and bottom depth below the cursor. The
Latitude and Longitude of the cursor position, the
distance to travel to the cursor position, and the
bearing to the cursor position are shown with a
connected GPS receiver. Cursor information is
displayed at the top of the screen.
