Fuel Calibrating the fuel usage can improve the ac- curacy of fuel measurements. T win engine installations require each fuel trans- ducer to be calibrated. This can be done at the same time with two portable tanks or at different times using one portable tank.
4-1 Interpreting the display The sonar displays do not show a fixed distance travelled by the boat; rather , they display a his- tory , showing what has passed below the boat during a certain period of time. The history of the sonar signal displayed de- pends on the depth of the water and the scroll speed setting.
Shadows Shadows are created around areas where the ultrasonic beam cannot ‘see’. These areas include hollows on the bottom or beside rocks and ledges, where the strong echoes returned off the rocks obscure the weak echoes of the fish and may also create a double bottom trace.
When to use 200 kHz The 200 kHz frequency is especially suitable for use in shallow and medium depth water, typically less than 500 ft. (150 m) and while running at speed.
