Chart Speed

The speed at which echoes scroll across the screen is called the chart
speed. The default for this unit is "max" (100 percent). We recommend
you leave the scroll speed setting there for most all fishing conditions.
You, however, might consider experimenting with chart speed when
you are stationary or drifting very slowly. Sometimes, you may achieve
better images as you decrease the chart speed to match the speed of
your boat.
If you are at anchor, ice fishing or fishing from a dock, experiment with
a chart speed of 25 percent. If you are drifting slowly, try a chart speed
of 50 percent. When you are stationary and a fish swims through the
sonar signal cone, the image appears on the screen as a long line in-
stead of a fish arch. Reducing the chart speed may result in a shorter
line that more closely resembles a regular fish return.
To adjust Chart Speed, repeatedly press
