3 TO 4
I would say 3-4 for me also. Unless Im verticle jigging then I will up the speed.
Matching chart speed to boat speed is generally recommended to give the sharpest and most symmetrical image ........but I often push the chart speed up quite a bit to "open" up the cover. It is easier to see if there are fish in brush even though the image may be a little more blurry.
For me, software version made a difference on my 998. On the older versions, I would run chart speed faster than I do now. I can't remember ever getting, what I would consider good results, with the chart speed any lower than 3,while using my outboard or trolling motor. (with my Onix. It doesn't matter, 5 an all's well)
USUALLY SET PRETTY HIGH . WANT TO SEE GROUND BEFORE RUNNING UP ON IT .
