597 hdci
I have a hum- bird 597hdci or ci hd whatever. It has the down scan. It is two years old and has probably been used a total of 40 hrs at most. The last trip out with it the depth reading went crazy. Would jump from the correct depth to something like 40-60 or 90 something feet. It was not staying at the incorrect depth just jumping there for a second and then right back to the correct reading. Just jumping around crazy. I was in basically 10-15 ft of water. The graph still displayed the correct reading and showed bottom just fine. Its just the depth reading in the upper left corner that went goofy. I checked my transducer and it is still in same position it has been since mounting it. Not motor interference cause I shut motor off to see if it was that. I shut down finder. unplugged it a couple different times. Didn't seem to help. Any suggestions. (other than getting the other brand). That will be my next investment.
Crappie spawning and morels popping up at the same time. What was God thinking when he made that schedule. It's pure torture every spring deciding which to do.
