When the bubbles collapse, they cause very strong local shock-waves in the water. In addition to this, the cavitation will generate very strong reverberation, commonly seen as a red stripe of echoes behind the vessel. If you have big problems with cavitation, try to adjust the propeller pitch and/or the number of revolutions. Reverberation Reverberation is generated when the echoes from your sonar transmission are reflected not only by fish and objects in the water, but also from the bottom and the sea surface. [. . . ]
