    Default 788 depth issue


    Why is it my unit will show 4ft when I am in 16 FOW? Also the depth box blanks out alot--kinda like loosing a GPS signal?
    Any suggestions. Update 6.59 didn't have anything regarding this issue?

    Do you mean the box is visable but the digits disappear...??? (that sounds like a bad connection where the xducer plugs into the head unit)...

    Also...I have read suggestions before about increasing the "noise filter" under the "Sonar" tab to about 5...(I think it may have something to do with the unit is possibly picking up noise in the water column and thinking it is the bottom)...

    yep--digits disappear. Connection is solid--I think your right about the noise filter--total forgot about that--thanks.

    Are there any other sonar units running at the same time KDAVID1?
    Where is the transducer for this unit mounted?
    Does this only happen when the main motor or trolling motor is running?
    If the Noise Filter adjustment does not help, try adjusting the Surface Clutter menu.
