Correction
1. Make sure that the power supply cable is sound and that
all connections are tight and free from corrosion.
2. Check the system fuse.
1. Check the scroll speed is not set to zero.
2. Check the transducer cable for damage. If damaged, the
cable and transducer must be replaced as a unit.
1. If you have a transom-mount transducer, check that the
transducer hasn't kicked-up on hitting an object.
2. Check that the gain is not set too low.
3. Check that the transducer is within 10° of vertical.
4. Check that the transducer face is not covered or fouled. If
necessary clean the transducer.
5. Check the voltage from the power source; if this is too low
it can affect the transmitting power of the Fishfinder.
1. Fish arches are not displayed if the boat is stopped - fish
appear on the display as straight line.
2. Ensure the transducer is within 10 ° of vertical.
3. Check that the gain is not set too low.
