I just bought this, maybe it's not set up, I don't know. 

I live on a canal 50-60 feet wide

everyone on both sides have docks with 4x4 or 6x6 post in the water

i don't see these post even when I'm less than 5 feet from them

am I not looking at the screen right?

A 4" or 6" dock post will be the same size on the display as a fish of that length. You have a 7" diagonally measured display and the more area you try to cover, the smaller the stuff will be displayed.

 

The only way to make it display larger is go by very slow so the SideVu pulse is scanning it longer and it is recorded for a longer period of time on the display.

 

Use a short SV Range setting to also make stuff look larger.

This is a bridge support with 8'-10' diameter pilings being passed by very slowly and recorded on a 10.4 inch display:

 

Wayne, is there current passing those pilings?
