We could see the change in depth  etc, but nothing else on the sounder in terms of fish . Is that too deep there to get readings or just a sounder that isnt set up right ( i cant remember the one he had- I think a lowrance)

i dont like Lorance much when fishing the deeper water.
my furuno works perfect, i dont have a problem i identifying kingies in 120m of water (most of the time)

Yip ours works fine in the deep stuff.Although we haven't played around with the setup to much.   

Andrew Poulos:
I think the owner of the boat I went out in hasnt set his properly. Makes it very hard to see if there is anythiing around so we were dropping blindly down to the depths. Have to say leatherjackets do suck though...they cut through anything  >:(

mate i'd go to mode, change it to none (instead of fishing or cruising), then your gain botton will work, turn it up to max.. that will clear the 50Mhz screen alot better... PM me if you wanna know more.

Cam Foley:
