Question
WaveWacker
Well...after running various hds units with SS I have some questions that came up that I'm hoping someone can clear up here. So let's first set up a scenario.
20 ft of water running the SS screen Left and right out to 50ft.
The question lies in is one seeing 20' straight down and then 30' of bottom off to the side of the boat either way? OR (as it was explained to me) is the SS beam hitting the bottom 20' off to the side of the boat and you're seeing what's on the bottom 30' out from there?
If it is the later...what's picking up the 20' L/R of the boat? DS and/or broadband sounder? Only thing that seems weird is when I'm marking some fish on the DS/broadband sounder, they seem to show up just above bottom on my SS. that would have me believing that it's shooting straight down then out. Also it seems very coincidental that the SS beam would be hitting bottom out to the side of the boat at the same depth of water that one is in but it makes no sense to have the 10, 20, 30, etc. marks on the bottom of the screen if it isn't actually that distance out to the side of the boat. Hopefully this makes sense and thanks for any clarification.
