Side imaging

I have a 797 on a Alumacraft boat and sometimes I will see a tree on the screen and mark the waypoint when I come back to it it does not show what I just saw.Has anyone else had this problem?

[FalconSmitty]

do you use the cursor to mark the tree??? or just hit mark??

[fultondalecrappie]

I use the cursor to mark the tree but when I go back by for another look sometimes it is like what I just looked at vanished.

You should be able to see it with your 2d sonar

I was using the mark button and having the same problem. Now that i use the cursor it is right on.. I hope you get it figured out. I also use the cursor to mark on the 2D sonar. you can place it right on the stump or whatever.. Wish i could help

Just make sure your cursor is right at the bottom of the stucture when you mark a waypoint if you want to pin point the structure.

Mark at the bottom (base) of the structure opposite the shadow (if any) closest to the water column (left or right). Zoom gives you a better view and allows a more accurate mark. MOAO.

Yes, Yes, Cane is right on the "mark", If you are looking at a 10 foot crib/brush pile you could be marking 10 feet off subject by not following Cane's advice.....

Dumb question in above the picture is that a mirror image or pictures of both right and left of the boat?

Dumber question. Does the bottom show up vertical on the screen ? It's confusing to me. Not sure what I'm looking at not that I've looked at one in person. Seems like all the pics I've seen show the bottom up and down not horizontal like normal.
