What’s On the Display
The 300 Series
TM
can display a variety of useful information about the area under and
adjacent to your boat, including the following items:
Timer -
elapsed time with Temp/Speed Accessory
or GPS Receiver.
Depth -
water depth; can be set to alarm when the
water becomes too shallow.
Speed -
if a Temp/Speed accessory or GPS Receiver
is attached, the 300 Series
TM
can display the speed
of the boat, and can keep a Triplog of nautical or
statute miles traveled.
Second Sonar Return -
when the sonar signal
bounces between the bottom and the surface of
the water and back again. Use the appearance of
the second return to determine bottom
hardness. Hard bottoms will show a strong
second return, while soft bottoms will show a
very weak one or none at all.
Cursor Dialog Box -
indicates cursor depth on the
display and the depth of the bottom directly below the cursor. In addition, the Latitude and Longitude of
the cursor position is shown, the distance to
travel to the cursor position and the bearing to the cursor position. A waypoint can be marked at the
cursor position for later retrieval and use.

Soft Bottom
Thermoclines -
layers of water with different
temperatures that appear at different depths and
different times of the year. A thermocline typically
appears as a continuous band of many gray levels
moving across the display at the same depth.
Fish -
fish are displayed as arches and/or fish
icons, and the unit can be set to alarm when a
fish of a certain size is detected. When a target is
detected and Fish ID+
TM
is on, a Fish ID+
TM
symbol
with depth is displayed. The size of the symbol
shows the intensity of the sonar return. The unit
will clearly show schools of Bait Fish as "clouds"
of different shapes and sizes, depending on the
number of fish and boat speed.

Rocky Bottom
Distance -
distance traveled with Temp/Speed
Accessory or GPS Receiver.

Entries in this view that list (with Temp/Speed or GPS Receiver) are available if either device

TM
Fishing System. If both devices are connected, then only the
information from the GPS receiver will be displayed on the view.
Temperature -
water surface temperature.
Average Speed -
average speed reading with
Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver.
Cursor -
available in Freeze Frame and can be
positioned in the Sonar View to provide depth of
a sonar return and bottom depth below the cursor.
