Sonars have a really difficult time giving accurate depth at shallow tilt angles because how the beam spreads and bounces away (instead of back to) the sonar. Also even in the bottom is pretty flat the sonar will show a rising bottom at the edge of the display.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Regards,<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Steve Bradburn<br \/>\nFuruno USA, Inc.<br \/>\n<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve had several questions about interpreting the sonar images.
