Topic: Side imaging beam

[shellback]

Have a question on the side imaging beam in relation to it passing by the motor. From an aerial view, is the beam a direct line which would pass between the motor and the transom, or does it radiate out front to back? In other words, if you pictured the beam as a big round flat disc, is it standing on it's edge, parallel and behind the transom, or laying flat with the water surface? Or does the beam resemble a sphere?  Trying to picture how the beam gets by the motor foot. thanks, Ron

Shellback,

SI is a thin beam going out down and to the sides. Roddy

  The beam is very narrow and is perpendicular to the water.It radiates up out an down very thin. Both sides
or one side depends on the setting. Gary

Like Roddy and Stillbear stated: the Si beams are skinny front-to-rear (the same cannot be said for this poster...).
