I have a Lowrance X102C

I set the thing to manual. Set the sensitivity to around 80 (if you get it too high it will black out the screen). Turn the ping speed up to 100%. Set the upper and lower limits to say upper 10' and lower 20' or so deeper than you will expect to be fishing around here 80' (gives a much better pic than zoom). Check your asp if it is off turn it on, if it is on turn it up a notch. Some also turn the scroll speed up.
Then put your bait under the transducer in calm water let it down some and jiggle it around. Keep messing with it until you know how your transducer is pointed. I have one of mine inside the boat angled 1/8" to starboard and 1/4" to bow. It shows the bait under the driver's console at 25'. Another one I have on the tmotor and it is supposed to be aimed straight down. The one in the back (inside) wasn't installed by me and I have yet to get a bait in its cone.
