The Fishfinder 160C can help you to determine if the bottom is hard 

or soft. When the sonar sound waves are reflected back by the bottom, 

a hard bottom returns a stronger signal than a soft bottom. A thin 

whiteline indicates a softer bottom while a thick whiteline indicates 

a harder bottom. Normally, a red line shows the point where water 

meets the bottom. This line follows the bottom contour, along with 

any significant objects lying on the bottom. The unit uses the whiteline 

function to make the bottom layer information easier to distinguish.
With the Fishfinder 160C, active whiteline helps accentuate where 

strong signals are located, which makes bottom type determination 

easier. The example below shows the bottom return with and without 

the whiteline activated.

Garmin’s See-Thru technology allows the Fishfinder 160C to “see” 

through thermoclines and helps locate fish where they live; and fish 

love thermoclines! 
A rough definition of a thermocline is a break in water where the 

water temperature changes faster than the water above it.
