Water Type (Advanced) - Humminbird 586C Operation Manual

Water Type configures your unit for operation in fresh or salt water. In salt
water, you can also choose the shallow or deep setting. The Water Type menu
option is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Main Menu: User
Mode).
NOTE: Make sure that the Water Type is set accurately, especially in salt water,
as this affects the accuracy of deep water depth readings. In salt water, what
would be considered a large fish might be 2 to 10 times bigger than a large fish in
fresh water (depending on the type of fish you are seeking). The salt water setting
allows for a greater range in fish size adjustment to account for this difference.
To change the Water Type setting:
1. Make sure the User Mode is set to Advanced, then highlight Water
Type on the Sonar main menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT Cursor keys to change the Water Type setting.
