    Garmin SV width question ratio to depth of lake

    When using SV is there a ratio between how deep you are and how far out to the sides you should set your SV?

    For instance in a lake 10-15 deep should it be in closer to the boat or does it matter?

    I will try that it sounded crazy to me to set it way out when the lake is shallow.
    Thanks

    use whatever that shows you what you want to see

    when using my CV51 I set it out to 300ft when in 15-20ft depth because i want to cover a lot of area

    If i want to check out a specific say, tree, Il set it to 50ft out in 15-20ft depth to see if there are fish present
