Using Sonar
Whiteline—highlights the strongest signal from the bottom to help
identify its hardness or softness.
Off (default)—turns off whiteline.
High—the most sensitive setting. Almost all strong returns are
highlighted in white.
Medium—many strong returns are highlighted in white.
Low—the least sensitive setting. Only the strongest returns are
highlighted in white.
Color Scheme—select White or Blue. This affects the background
on all sonar screens, but does not change the Temp Log screen.
Surface Noise—show or hide the sonar returns near the surface of
the water. Hide surface noise to help reduce clutter.
Data Bars
—show or hide battery voltage, water temperature, water
speed (if your transducer is capable), cruising, and navigation.

speed, or both. Select Auto to display the values.
