SUPPORT > SYSTEM SETUP > ADJUSTING THE TOWING POSITION

Due to its small size, the StarFish needs to tow at a slight downward angle through water, to maintain the tension on the cable. However, depending on the salinity of the water and the towing speed of the sonar you may find that you need to adjust the towing position backwards from the third towing hole to achieve the best results...

Moving the towing position backward, makes the sonar become nose heavy, causing it to dig into the water more, increase the tension on the cable, and go deeper. However, too far and it will flip and drag vertically through the water - to remedy this, the towing hole will need to be moved forward.
If the sonar is too nose heavy, it will flip and drag vertically.

Moving the towing position forward, causes the sonar to tow more horizontally. However, too far and it will swim upwards (and sideways) - to remedy this, the towing hole will need to be moved backward.
If the sonar is too tail heavy, it will try to swim upwards and sideways

Note that your StarFish has seven holes, but only the three central ones are intended as towing points - the outer holes are for use in transit and the attachment of StarFish accessories.
