Lowrance Side Imaging Not Working On One Side

Most anglers who fish from a boat have some sort of sonar so we ll start there and save the side scan and down scan tweaks for.

Lowrance side imaging not working on one side.

The side imaging range to the center of the object is 30 feet. If we assume that the water depth at the object matches the depth under the boat 16 6 ft. Something i noticed today is that it actually seems to draw the screen in 2 of water. Not sure i can explain this but if i take off auto depth and manually set it for 5.

Check out this breakdown active i. If you re running along a rip line or casting into a shoreline you can set the device to look only into the shallows. Structure page shows only a black screen with white line down the middle. Last weekend the structure scan stopped working.

Check your operations manual to see if this is a feature of your depth sounder. Side imaging solutions no side scan or not working correctly make sure your depth sounder has the side imaging option. A reasonable assumption here because this is a featureless flat then the true lateral distance to the object is 25 feet closer to the boat than the 30 foot side imaging range might suggest. Low chirp or 50khz lower frequency means higher power for deep water fishing.

Sonar is a massively cool technology and to me side scanning and down scanning are two even cooler technologies. Here is a quick breakdown. I have had it out on the water to test and everything works but the side imaging. Lowrance structure scan stopped working i have a lowrance setup in my boat.

Same for both side image and down image. Consider the object on the left side image. Sonar and down imaging both work. I have purchased and installed the lowrance elite 7ti with totalscan transducer.

High chirp or 200khz higher frequencies display a higher resolution image making it easy to discern fish from structure or. But they work a whole lot better if you make a few changes to your settings to get a clear picture. Not all fish finders are capable of this. Medium chirp or 83khz specifically designed to give the widest coverage area 83 khz is ideal for watching a bait under the transducer in shallow water.
