FISH 457/467

Installation and Operation Manual

b The transducer may be in turbulent water.

Air bubbles in the water disrupt the echoes
returned, interfering with the 457/467’s ability
to find the bottom or other targets. This often
happens when the boat is reversed. The
transducer must be mounted in a smooth
flow of water in order for the 457/467 to work
at all boat speeds.

c

Electrical noise from the boat’s motor
can interfere with the 457/467. Try some
suppression spark plugs.

3-5 There is a double bottom trace displayed:

a

The boat may be in an area that generates
shadows (see section 3-2).

b In shallow water, the echoes may bounce.

Reduce the gain setting (see section 3-6)
and/or reduce the sonar pulse power (see
section 8-2).

c Decrease

the

Range.
