My lowrance structurescan unit allows me to view both sides or just one side at a time.
Lowrance side imaging not working on one side.
Sonar and down imaging both work.
Not all fish finders are capable of this.
Same for both side image and down image.
Side imaging solutions no side scan or not working correctly make sure your depth sounder has the side imaging option.
Last weekend the structure scan stopped working.
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.
Here is a quick breakdown.
Low chirp or 50khz lower frequency means higher power for deep water fishing.
But they work a whole lot better if you make a few changes to your settings to get a clear picture.
This allows you to set the range to well over 100 feet to the side and still make out important detail.
I have purchased and installed the lowrance elite 7ti with totalscan transducer.
The side imaging range to the center of the object is 30 feet.
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.
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 structure scan stopped working i have a lowrance setup in my boat.
If you re running along a rip line or casting into a shoreline you can set the device to look only into the shallows.
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.
I have had it out on the water to test and everything works but the side imaging.
Check your operations manual to see if this is a feature of your depth sounder.
Consider the object on the left side image.
Sonar is a massively cool technology and to me side scanning and down scanning are two even cooler technologies.
Lowrance product expert jacob scott walks through the basic settings set up and interpretation of active imaging sidescan.
If we assume that the water depth at the object matches the depth under the boat 16 6 ft.
