bottom directly beneath your boat. The side beams
are 455 kHz with a 16 degree area of coverage. The
side-looking elements can be used independently,
or together to locate targets near the surface of the
water on either side of your boat.
The Wide Side transducer can be connected directly
to the 350TX or used in conjunction with the
standard transducer through a transducer switch.
When used with a switch in conjunction with the
Tri-Beam transducer, the 350TX recognizes which
transducer is connected whenever the switch position is changed.
When a Wide Side transducer is connected, the screen display changes to
display the information from the side-looking elements. The Wide-Side
transducer has four views available: Left, Right, Down and Both. These views
are controlled by the View Menu, which is only present when operating in
Wide Side mode. The default view is both, in which information from both the
left and right elements are displayed on screen. The digital depth of the water
beneath your boat is always present.
Viewing both left and right sides simultaneously gives you an excellent tool
when searching for bait fish in open water, or when following a creek bed.
However, you will have a greater display resolution if you view only one side.
The down view is similar to the traditional view when using the standard
transducer, however there is no Tri-Beam information available, such as fish
location.
When operating in Wide Side mode, the range must be adjusted manually, since
the bottom is often not visible on-screen. Ranges of 5m (15'), 10m (30'),
20m (60') and 40m (120') are available. Also, Zoom is not possible in Wide Side
mode, and the Zoom menu is not available.
