Chart Speed control bar.
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, press
MENU until the CHART SPEED control bar
appears. Press
to increase the speed of the chart. Press to decrease
it. Press
PWR to clear the menu.
To return to the original setting, repeat the above steps, but use the
arrow keys to set the speed to
100% before clearing the menu.
