• Allcablesshouldbe adequatelysecured,protectedfromphysicaldamage andprotectedfromexposuretoheat.Avoidrunningcablesthroughbilges ordoorways,or close to moving or hot objects.

• Acutebendsmust be avoided

• Wherea cable passes throughan exposed bulkheador deckhead, a water-

tightfeed-throughshouldbeused.

A shallow arch is generated when the the boat is moving slowly.

Thereturnfroma fish has a differentappearancedependingonthe frequency used:50kHzproducesa wide beam,soafishspottedby this frequencygivesa broadarch;the200 kHz beam is narrower so the same fish produces a narrowerarch.

Theshapeof the arch is also affected by the speed of the boat. Iftheboatis movingslowly, the arches tend to be longer; if the boat ismovingmore quickly,thearchesareshortand peaked. If the boat is moving very fast, a fish maybe indicatedbya single verticalline.
