Need to say at the start i am not very good with this unit. My problem is down imaging is washed out, my side imaging is good but when i go to di it is washed out. I have had this unit about 3 years and all was good until about 3 months ago. As you can guess i don't get a lot of use, my fault. I did loose a rod over board and would like to look for it with di. The water is about 8ft should be able to find if the di worked. Any input on what to check.
I would put in contour mode and set range real low... haven't tried this, but would be better than using DI on a 998.... couldn't be any worse. Might be better off borrowing an underwater camera. Good luck!
I have never had any issues like that with my 999. Have you added another unit; crosstalk?Quote:

Thanks, i reset defaults and all is well. Friend told me to clean the bottom of transducer i also did that. There is a rod still on the bottom, didn't see when it went over.
Glad you got unit fixed and sorry about thr rod. You will not see a rod on the bottom.
I've lost a couple rods in the past as well, mainly when kayaking (beginner and didn't tether like I do now).
Your best bet would have been to mark the spot with GPS and come back in the summer to swim down and feel (or as/hire your son or grandson to do it lol). Good luck with your rod, but I very seriously doubt you'll be able to pick it up on DI or SI (but I could be wrong). I have a 999 (console) & 899 (bow) and love these units. Once I learned how to use them it was game on!
