We are considering adding side scan to our Furuno TXT3 system. What is the effective depth this will see fish targets while trolling?

Depth, it is going out to the sides not down. To the sides roughly 700 ft if I recall correctly.

I may not be asking the question correctly, i understand it sees out to the side 750ft but it sees fish in the water out to the sides. Im wondering the depth it sees down in the water to see fish and bottom structure. I’m trying to determine if i could see fish 180ft deep in the water column out to the sides while trolling?
@Deep Blue , while I know it is variable based on where it is placed on the boat and the angle; do you have a rough depth that sidescan reaches down at the sides?
WindynParadise,
The 225T CHIRP side scan transducers all operate with a 40° beamwidth. At the maximum range of 750 feet, this beam angle yields a coverage width of approximately 546 feet.
Resolution is influenced by environmental factors, particularly water temperature and sea conditions. The 225T transducer operates in a CHIRP frequency range of 220–240 kHz, with a center frequency of 230 kHz. Under calm and flat sea conditions, the system is capable of delivering good resolution, especially for detecting those fish targets.
