Hi guys,
So this is the first year with a boat and using fish finders.
Ive learned a lot on how to read them but I still can’t determine where I’m looking exactly when using the sonar or down view at the bow in order to make my cast in the right direction.

So so here’s an example. I’m trying to figure out where this is located from where im standing.
I know that the top right corner is where the boat is when I’m looking at the finder at the console but what about at the bow?
If I’m not mistaken, the beam is like a cone at the bow but how do I know what’s left and right etc.
sorry guys still new to this and trying to figure it out.
Also, on the console, if the boat is at the top right and everything you’re seeing is behind you, how far back does the screen show. What’s the distance the finder show up to, so the far left of the screen, how many feet would that be behind me?
thanks in advance!
