7. After
installing,
if the
stylus
won't
print
all the
way
down the
paper
as shown in
Figure
36,
bend the
right leg
down so that
more
pressure
is exerted
against
the stainless steel
plate.
If it still does not
print
all the
way,
bend the left
leg
down
more,
but not so far that it
digs
into the
paper.
Sharp,
well
defined
signatures
will occur most often
when the
Sensitivity
knob
is set at the ¾
point,
or
higher.
Remember,
that
there must be some
movement
between the boat and
the fish to
develop
the arched
mark,
Usually
this means
trolling
at
very
slow
speeds
with the main
engine
in
gear
at minimum
throttle
setting.
THERMOCLINES
The temperature
of water in the
lake is seldom constant
from
top
to bottom.
Layers
of different tem-
peratures
form,
and the
junction
of
a warm and cool
layer
of water is
called a thermocline.
(See Figure
23)
The
depth
and
thickness of
the thermocline
can
vary
with the
season or
time of
day.
In
deep
lakes there
may
be two or
more,
at different
depths.
Thermoclines
are
important
to
the fisherman
because
they
are areas where fish
are active.
Many
times bait fish
will te above
the thermocline
while
larger game
fish
suspend
just
below
it.
Your Lowrance
X-16 can detect
this invisible
layer
in the
water,
but
the
Sensitivity
knob will
probably
have
to be set at the 1/2
point,
or
higher.

in
your
X-16.
NOTE
—
A
