“Shooting-Thru” a Boat Hull
The advanced sonar capabilities of this unit allows it to “Shoot-Thru” the bottom
of a boat or canoe. The hull must be made out of solid fiberglass, or a maximum
of 1/8” (3.1 mm) aluminum, and be in direct contact with the water with no air
pockets. The unit will not work through wood, plastic, or any composite material.
To “Shoot-Thru” the Hull of a Boat, Do One of the Following:
1.
place the transducer in .5 inches (13 mm) of water
against the hull bottom.
2.
coat the face of the transducer with petroleum jelly and
press it against the hull bottom with a twisting motion.
3.
place the transducer in a plastic bag that is full of water
and place against the hull bottom.
Scanning for Depth Changes or Fish (SideScan)
The unit has the ability to be used as a sideways scanning sonar depth
sounder/fish finder to search for drop-off’s and hiding fish under
docks, weeds, or vegetation.
To SideScan:
1.
Activate the unit and place it perpendicular to the water to obtain a correct
depth reading.
2.
Once a correct reading is obtained, move the unit around in a scanning motion
(similar to using a flashlight). Keep in mind that the sonar signals must be
directed at a solid surface that is within 200 ft (61 m) to function properly. You
must be certain to aim the unit at an object, or the bottom within this range.

IMPORTANT:
If you cannot obtain reading while
“Shooting-Thru” the hull, place the unit
directly in the water. If readings are
obtained with the unit directly in the
water, you probably cannot “Shoot-
Thru” your type of hull. Please visit our
