Here are some ideas for maximizing the usefulness of the Side-Scan
Adapter:
•
Attach it to a dock piling and scan sideways for fish
swimming by.
•
Attach it to a boat, kayak, or canoe hull and slow troll
for fish, all the while keeping a look out for fish behind or in front of
you.
•
Attach it to a broom stick handle and search for the best fishing
location.
•
Attach it to a broom stick and seek out the fish hiding away from your
fishing hole while ice fishing.
USING THE SONAR SENSOR FROM A BOAT
There are four methods that the fish finder can be used from a boat.
1. Toss the sensor and float into the water as per the previous instructions.
2. “Shoot-Thru” the hull as per the instructions in the next section.
3. Attach the Side-Scan adapter to handle and scan for fish as per the fishing
tip below.
4. Attach the Side-Scan Adapter to the boat hull using the mounting tabs.

By attaching the Side-Scan Adapter to an ordinary broom stick or
paint roller handle purchased from a local hardware store, you can
scan for fish suspended in the water column within 99.9 ft (30.4 m) of
your location. Attach the sensor to a handle, lower the sensor into the
water, and slowly move the sensor in a manner that will allow the
signal to search the desired location (a sweeping motion similar to using a
flashlight is most effective). Keep in mind the sonar signal is emitted from the
base of the sensor. Scan down, sideways, or any combination of the two.
Remember, to get depth and bottom contour and composition readings you will
have to aim the signal at a solid object within 99 ft (30.4 m), however FISH
readings will be accurate, even if the depth reading is “---”.
