Understanding the Sonar Display
One of the first things to understand about sonar is that the transducer sends a
beam down to the bottom of the water, much like the beam of a flashlight. The
beam starts small near your vessel and expands as it gets to the bottom.
The Sonar Page does not show a 3-D representation of the underwater
environment. Instead, the display is in two dimensions, much like if you took a
picture of an aquarium. Only the depth of the item in the water is shown.
The strongest sonar returns appear on your screen as the most intense solid
