It looks like your your range is too far out for the depth if I am reading it right at 70'. The sideways image and photo (instead of a screenshot is hard to see) 3 x Depth is a normal range. ...
The higher the frequency the lower the range. The lower the frequency the higher the range. With 455 kHz you can go 2 and a half to 3 times the depth and gather good returns on normal stuff. I...
Vert good imaging. Diver at bottom of buoy and line I believe. I built a tripod from my 360 and used it a lot before I bought my Mesotech. It is my back up in case the Mesotech has an issue. I...
The biggest thing I have found it having and maintaining 12+volts. I use a dedicated battery and the amps and volts need to be hot. If not my image is not clear. Here I have a diver near sheet...
It is normal maintenance to "snug" the screws down. Hand tight is all it needs. I have had mine down to 135' with no issues ever. I added 140' of rov cable for SAR work.
Try powering the 360 with a separate source. Get the proper torx or star driver and check the screws around the head of the 360. I snug them from time to time. If it leaks it will leak oil. It...
Stolen huh? I think the insurance wire got wet :-)
I don't know how financially deep your pockets are but this is what you want. Tritech or blueview scanning sonar. Mount it on the front of your boat and viola'. These are used on ROV's and work...
Troy, I'm sure I'll get a smart ass answer but I'm gonna try anyways and see if this helps some. I am not trying to act like you are stupid so please don't take it that way. Understanding side scan...
Use a larger range until you get close. Then close the range in when you stop, and are, close to it. I assume once you are close to a waypoint you use your trolling motor on approach which will let...

Due to thermoclines and chemclines this is as good as it gets on my helix. I have some 898 images that I need to find. They are much cleaner around the edges. But the 360 can provide pretty good...

That's right. I meant 898. Gonna go edit that. It won't edit for some reason
The slowest speed and being still will result in the best imaging. Scanning sonar is made to be static. Using it, while trolling, does have benefit to observe structure as you approach, but the...
Looking at your 4th image, as you say, that's the brush pile in the water column. Since you have a waypoint, try bringing the range in as you get close. Once you are within 20'-25' the water column...
I never said anything about fuses or breakers. My comparison was not meant to be literal but comparative. Jeezus petes. A motor with something spinning uses more power than our electronics units....
The 360 is made up by placing 2 side scan transducers on a servo motor and encapsulating it in an oil filled container. It uses a lot of power as it spins the motor to turn the transducers. It...
The 360 uses a lot of power because it is spinning the transducer with a motor. It has a pretty heavy draw on batteries. Combining that with multiple units and multiple tasks is going to put a...
The beam is reflecting off of the bottom and when it returns to the transducer, all of the beam is not captured. Some, of it, passes the transducer. It is hitting something beyond and returning,...
Understood. Got my info from trial and error and fixing my unit. Did that with mine after similar problems and no more problems for 3 years now. Just trying to help.
Thanks!

Not much info here so let's look at basics. It sounds like a connectivity / power problem. The 360 uses a lot of power. Try a separate battery, that you know is hot, and use 10 gauge wire to...
The best way to get your settings right is to launch you boat and tie off at the dock. This is technically a scanning sonar that will work the best sitting still. Having said that, you will gather...
You can record 360......but, on humviewer it displays like sidescan. Like Wayne says, there ius no 360 program that displays as 360. There is no program to have it display as 360. Here is a...
