I don't have my unit here, but

go to setup tab
scroll down to readouts
scroll over and see 1-5 readouts
you can arrow over on the individual readouts to change the display setting.

Just a thought. easy check and easier than changing the biscuit.

Best thing to do is use a handheld that works and verify the HB unit next time out.

How fast (estimated) you believe you were going? It is hard to guestimate .4-.1 mph.

The readout shuts off when the donut comes on?

CP, I like your knowledge of this stuff almost as much as your humor. Now, please tell me why you have the 997 (at least that's the image you used) and not the 998 or 1197. It's a serious question 'cause I'm on the verge of buying one of them. Thanks.

my m.p.h. never went to o.o although it was pretty windy. Could not control boat most of time speed was in reverse or side ways. I thought of handheld also next time i have a garmin.

3 years ago, there was no such thing as a 1197 or 998. Well, lets say they were not available to us "common folks".:rolleyes:

I dunno. How fast it go without the wind?
