Transducer angle

We recommend installing the transducer vertical to the waterline. 

In cases where that is not possible, the Transducer Angle setting 

helps offset the difference between the transducer angle and the 

waterline.
If the transducer is angled toward the front of the vessel, a 

positive value (0 to +15°) is entered in the Transducer angle 

dialog. If the transducer is angled toward the rear of the vessel, 

a negative value (0 to -15°) is entered in the Transducer angle 

dialog.

ForwardScan options and settings

 Warning:

 Adjustments to the transducer angle value should 

be done with caution. Large variations in the transducer angle 

value can distort depth data, increasing the risk of striking 

underwater obstructions.
