Anyway,thanks for your help.
Sorry for my short and to the point post above...was being paged. Anyhow, what I do with my towed array is stream it to the 'S' marker and have a general speed of 7 knots.

In litoral waters, you need all of the help you can get with sonar due to the bad dynamics, so the speed combined with the shortened towed array will keep it from scrapping the bottom. Make sure that you scan NB almost exclusively in these waters as the BB will suck with all the surface noise.
