Just got this new FF. When I get in water over 15" the depth reads 1.5 and I completely loose the bottom and loose all mark from the top to the bottom. I tried making adjustments nothing that I tried worked. Maybe someone with more experience can tell me what to do to make this thing work. Right now I am ready to put it back in the box and send it back from whence it came.
Assume you mean 15 FOW not 15 inches of water. Check the "range" or depth, some DF's have a feature where you can set a range of depth to monitor and that is all that will show on the screen, say from 5-15 FOW is all you want to see on the DF. Auto range will show from water surface to bottom.
Yes I mean 15 feet of water. I did set the depth for 25' 20' 15' it didn't matter.But thanks for the reply
And I also tried Auto it didn't matter
Where is the xducer mounted ...??
Did the depth read correctly in shallower water ...??

Is this the 688ci HD or the 688ci HD DI ... ??
Rickie
The transducer is mounted on the transom. It is square and mounted to specs. I have 688ci hd di
In shallow water it read correct. Then as the depth got to over 12' everything started to fade until I had a clear screen and the top left corner that shows depth went to 1.5'
Have you tried "Restore Defaults" under the "Setup" tab ... ??

:popcorn
no I have not tried default restore I will try when I get home which will be tomorrow
You might try changing settings from freshwater to saltwater shallow , to see if that changes something
That was the trick. Got back on the water today and went to default setting... Everything is good. Thanks to all for the help.Quote:
