There are no dumb questions...we all want to learn more...

I've read several forums indicating that units sometimes have difficulty picking up bottom after raising the Xducer out of the water and leaving the unit running...

While it shouldn't hurt the unit let the unit run while the Xducer is out of the water...the best answers I've seen so far is to just put the sonar on standby until the Xducer is back into the water...

I'm not familiar with this setting in the Lowrance but I'm sure it's just 1 or 2 button pushes...
