Abstract

An example towable device for a watercraft is provided. The device includes an adaptive mount configured to receive a transducer assembly and a connection feature for attachment of a linking mechanism for attachment of the towable device to the watercraft. The device and the transducer assembly are configured to glide through an underwater environment at a first depth that is different from a second depth of a hull of the watercraft via the linking mechanism. An example method for creating an overlay for a map or chart is also provided. The method includes receiving sonar data, forming the overlay using the sonar data, and causing presentation of the overlay over the map or chart on a display of a marine electronic device.
