Simrad now offers a bottom expansion unit that is specially designed for bottom fishing. The unit easily fits into the cabinet of the Skipper 802 fish finder/recorder, and can therefore be retrofitted to existing 802s. The 802 bottom expansion unit enables the skipper to see fish details close to, or just above the bottom that would normally be difficult to pick out even with the sharp detail provided by the Skipper 802 sounder used on its own.
The expanded area can be chosen from either a 1¼, 2½, or 5 fathoms from the bottom and up. This area can then be presented in three different modes according to where the recording of the bottom contour will appear on the echo-gram, high up or low down.
The Skipper 802 sounder is already fitted with cable and a plug to take the bottom expansion unit. Samples of true echo-grams showing the expansion can be sent upon request.
