Your SONAR projects a pretty narrow beam, Curtis. It is like looking through a telescope. At close range, you have a very narrow view. In shallower water, it may not even cover the width of your boat. A typical Sonar beam is about 20 degrees. The footprint in 10 feet of water is a little over

If you have transducers working on the same frequency you will get crosstalk. If you have one instrument @ 50 Hz and one @ 200 Hz there should be no problem. You can get around this by mounting the transducers very far apart, but apart from showing you what you just hit I don't see much point in ha

This is a good discussion. This has been a big issue in the flying world too. Airplanes now are EXACTLY on the charted airway, not just within a few miles of it. This caused a head-on collision down in Brazil between a 737 and an Embraer jet. A lot of restricted airspace violations come from se

I certainly subscribe to Dennis's practice. It took me a couple of years before I trusted the routing capabilities of my gps. All of my routes are verified in good visibility before I trust them in the dark of night or fog. A proper watch and attention to what you see and hear rather than exclu

If I may add to it a bit... When you mark a waypoint and you are able to remain stationary for a few seconds, try making the waypoint using the average from numerous readings (usually the default is 16 or 64). When you capture 16 reading the GPS error is substantially reduced (especially, if yo

About 15-20 years ago, when GPS started to become ubiquitous, it was not uncommon to hear about GPS assisted groundings where a skipper set a waypoint here, and a waypoint over there a few miles, and forgot to look at the shoal or headland between the two waypoints. So much so that the Power Squadr
