will acquire bottom readings as needed (within the capabilities of the unit). When Max Depth
is set to match your water maximum depth, the control head will not attempt to acquire sonar
data below that depth, so more detail will be shown on the display.
Quick Setup Menu
Side Imaging units default to the Side Imaging range setting if the SI Range is set deeper than
the Max Depth. See the Side Imaging section for more information.
Water Type affects the accuracy of deep water depth readings and configures the control head
for operation in fresh or salt water.
Water Type
In salt water, you can also choose the shallow or deep setting. If the depth is more than 330 ft
(100 m), select Salt (deep).
The control head will automatically select the transducer that was included with your control
