By default, the targets appear as arches. Adual beam transducer can transmit a narrow or a wide beam. The water area covered by the transmitted sound waves is determined by the transducer beam width and the water depth. The wide beam is more helpful in shallow water, because it gives you a much wider view of objects in the water, including areas beyond the sides of your boat.

At a depth of 30 feet, the wide beam covers the area of approximately a foot circle. Athin whiteline indicates a softer bottom while a thick whiteline indicates a harder bottom. Normally, a red line shows the point where water meets the bottom. The unit uses the whiteline function to make the bottom layer information easier to distinguish.
