How Sonar Works
DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar
Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The Matrix™ Fishing System uses sonar
to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth
directly below the transducer.
Your Matrix™ 77c uses a 200/83 kHz DualBeam PLUS™ sonar system with a wide
(60°) area of coverage. DualBeam PLUS™ sonar returns can be blended together,
viewed separately or compared side-by-side. DualBeam PLUS™ is ideal for a wide
range of conditions - from shallow to very deep water in both fresh and salt water.

What’s On the Display
The Matrix™ Fishing System can display a variety of useful information about the area
under and adjacent to your boat, including the following items:
High Sonar Intensity Return
Depth - water depth; can be set to alarm when
the water becomes too shallow.
Bait Ball
Cursor - available in Freeze Frame and can be
positioned in the Sonar View to provide depth of a
sonar return and bottom depth below the cursor.

Average Speed - Average speed reading with
Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver.
Speed - if a Temp/Speed accessory or GPS
Receiver is attached, the FishFinder can display
the speed of the boat, and can keep a Triplog of
nautical or statute miles traveled.
Second Sonar Return - when the sonar signal
bounces between the bottom and the surface of the
water and back again. Use the appearance of the
second return to determine bottom hardness. Hard
bottoms will show a strong second return, while soft
bottoms will show a very weak one or none at all.
Hz Orange Fish Symbol
ture - where fish may be hiding.
Cursor Dialog Box - indicates cursor depth on the
display and the depth of the bottom directly below
the cursor. The Latitude and Longitude of the cursor
position, the distance to travel to the cursor position
and the bearing to the cursor position is shown with a
GPS receiver. A waypoint can be marked at the cursor
position for later retrieval and use with a GPS receiver.

Understanding Sonar History
Sonar Zoom View
It is important to understand the significance of the Matrix™ Fishing System display.
The display does NOT show a literal 3-dimensional representation of what is under
the water. Each vertical band of data received by the control head and plotted on the
display represents something that was detected by a sonar return at a particular
time. As both the boat and the targets (f

As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a
