Understanding Sonar The transducer mounted on your vessel transmits sound waves toward the bottom of a lake, stream, or seabed in a cone-shaped pattern. When a transmitted sound wave strikes an underwater object—such as the bottom, a piece of structure, or a fish—sound is reflected back to the transducer . The transducer collects the reflect[...]

T ransducer Coverage The area covered by the transmitted sound waves is determined by the cone angle of the transducer and the water depth. The wide cone angles (40°) associated with low frequencies (50 kHz) provide a large coverage area for finding fish within a coverage width that is approximately 2/3 of the water depth. However , this also me[...]

Whiteline The GSD 20 Sounder Module can help you determine whether the bottom is hard or soft.
