Sea surface reflections
To reduce sea surface reflections, set the tilt angle to 5
°
or
higher, so the upper edge of the sonar beam does not hit the
sea surface, or adjust TVG. When a narrow tilt angle is used,
sea surface reflections cover a large area as illustrated below.

Wake
A wake produced by own ship or another ship can be a strong
reflecting object when a narrow tilt angle is used. As the wake
appears as a thick continuous line, it can be easily distinguished
from a fish school. A wake contains many air bubbles which
attenuate ultrasonic energy, making it difficult to sound beyond
the wake.
