Fishfinder power

The fishfinder power setting enables you to adjust the power of the
DSM sonar signal. This is useful for accommodating different water
depths and vessel speeds.

The power setting for the DSM sonar can be adjusted to suit
different conditions, such as water depth and vessel speed. By
default, the power setting is adjusted automatically to suit current
conditions, but the setting can also be adjusted manually if required.

• Lower power levels are suitable for depths of less than 2.4 m (8 ft).

• Higher power levels are generally more suited to depths greater

than 3.7 m (12 ft).

There are two power modes:

Auto. In Auto mode, the power setting is automatically adjusted

to suit current conditions.

Manual. You can set the power setting manually, between a value

of 1 to 100%, in 10% increments.
