    Default Finding PVC


    I always hear PVC tough to find but saw something on my units yesterday that sounds crazy . I saw PVC on my Hummingbird side imaging , marked it . Then drove over with split screen set on color sonar and down imaging . The regular sonar showed nothing but down imaging showed it plain and the shadow it cast ! It showed on my down imager on front too ?

    I've got a lot of PVC sunk and can't ever see it on my sonar but with SI or DI I can always find it. Always cast great big spider leg looking shadows with SI

    My guess the higher imaging frequency and thinner Sonar beam (front to back) ...

    Especially if you only have the 200 Khz turned on ..... try enabling the 83 Khz if it isn't.
