the water becomes too shallow.
Temperature - Water surface temperature.

Topography Changes - The light part of the
display shows where the beam is hitting hard
bottom or rising terrain. The dark part of the
display indicates soft bottom (sand, mud) or
descending terrain.
Bottom Return- Use the appearance of the bottom
return to determine bottom hardness. Rock and
gravel provide a clearer sonar return than mud
and sand because hard objects reflect sonar
better than soft objects.
NOTE: Entries in this view that list (with Temp/Speed) are available if the accessory is connected
