How Sonar Works Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The 700 Series™ Fishing System uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer. Your 700 Series™ Fishing System sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off of an object; it then uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size, and composition of an o

When all the echoes are viewed side by side, an easy to interpret “graph“ of the bottom, fish, and structure appears. The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455 kHz) are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited. High frequencies (200 kHz) are commonly used on consumer sonar and provide a good balance between depth performance and resolution. Low frequencies (83 kHz) are typically used to achieve greater

DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar (DualBeam PLUS™ models only [778c HD]) Your 778c HD Fishing System uses a 200/83 kHz DualBeam PLUS™ sonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage. DualBeam PLUS™ sonar has a narrowly focused 20° center beam, surrounded by a second beam of 60°, expanding your coverage to an area equal to your depth. In 20 feet of water, the wider beam covers an area 20 feet wide. DualBeam PLUS™ sonar returns can be blended together, viewed separately, or compared side- by-side. DualBeam PLU

Xtreme Depth Sonar (Xtreme Depth Series™ models only [778c HD XD]) Your 778c HD XD Fishing System uses the XD transducer to provide extreme depth coverage with DualBeam PLUS™ technology. The Xtreme Depth sonar beams can be operated at two frequencies: 50 kHz (74°) and 200 kHz (20°). The wide, 50 kHz beam transmits at a low frequency to provide greater depth coverage, up to 2500 ft (762 m). The narrow, 200 kHz center beam transmits at a high frequency to provide maximum detail at shallower depths

WideSide® Sonar (with optional-purchase WideSide® transducer) The WideSide® transducer is a specialized “side-looking” transducer that is extremely useful for bank fishing or looking for bait fish in open water. The WideSide® transducer uses three different sonar elements that transmit signals to the left, right, and straight down from your boat. The downward beam is 200 kHz with a 24° area of coverage. This beam maintains a continuous digital depth readout from the bottom directly beneath your

Universal Sonar 2 (compatible w/ optional-purchase Minnkota trolling motors) Your 700 Series™ Fishing System supports Universal Sonar 2, a state-of-the- art, integrated and protected transducer that is built into the lower unit of Minnkota trolling motors. With Universal Sonar 2, all wiring is concealed inside the indestructible composite shaft—out of sight and out of harm’s way, with no clamps, ties, or exposed wires. Universal Sonar 2 features new temperature sensing and the performance of Dua

Dual Beam Ice Transducer Ice transducer (with optional-purchase XI 9 20 Ice Transducer) The XI 9 20 Ice Transducer provides selectable dual-frequency sonar with a wide area of coverage. Selectable dual- frequency gives you the option of two beams, and both beams will cover the bottom and provide high definition. The 20 degree center beam provides the highest definition, while the 60 degree beam provides wider coverage. Depth capability is affected by such factors as bottom hardness and water con

Understanding the Sonar Display It is important to understand the significance of the display. The display does not show a literal 3-dimensional representation of what is under the water. Each vertical band of data received by the control head and plotted on the display represents something that was detected by a sonar return at a particular time. As both the boat and the targets (fish) may be moving, the returns are only showing a particular segment of time when objects were . detected, not exa
