I've always wanted to try this to see what happens like if you aim the transducer at a car will it show up on screen. I've heard they have 3d fish finders now where it renders the underwater landscape like a video game.
You're not going to read 9 feet depth in a pipe filled with water lying close to horizontal. The water depth was probably closer to the 1.5 feet that was being displayed. You must have repositioned the pipe vertical before you rebooted the electronics for it to register 9 feet the second time. Would have been better to just show that and there would have been no need to reboot the electronics.
@@xonkkram but there would be a hell of a lot of noise from the sound waves reflecting off the walls of the pipe regardless of angle - it is amazing it read anything at all. this isn't really a good test method, for when it doesn't work it does NOT mean the transducer is faulty.

It will if the sensor is tilted at the same angle as the pipe.

Very cool! Thanks!
I know it might be a silly question but can a fish finder be used to look up under ground treasures or buried objects ???
urluvpac no. In fact it won't even read unless it is in water.
I found a fish finder device how do I test to see if it powers on at home?
You should be able to power it with 12 volts DC
Why would you waste so much time
Just so you would waste your time watching it.
