What’s On the Display
The 300 Series™ Fishing System 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.
Average Speed - average speed reading with
Temp/Speed Accessory.
Depth - water depth; can be set to alarm
when the water becomes too shallow.
Speed - if a Temp/Speed accessory is attached,
the 300 Series™ 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.
Battery Voltage - the voltage of the boat’s
battery; can be set to alarm if the voltage
falls below a certain point.

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.
Structure - where fish may be hiding.
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
