Water Type (Advanced); Transducer Select; Color Bar - Humminbird 917C Installation And Operation Manual

Water Type configures your unit for operation in fresh or salt water. The
Water Type menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced
(see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode).
NOTE: 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. Also, make sure that the Water Type is set
accurately, especially in salt water, as this affects the accuracy of deep water
depth readings.
To change the Water Type setting:
1. Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode, then highlight Water
Type on the Sonar main menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the
