Go back to factory defaults and then adjust sensitivity a little.

I'll give that a try, do you use the advanced settings any or do you have better results with just the factory default?? Of course I still have alot of playing to do with it to be able to get the full benefits of it, have only really used it for one good summer, so I am still really getting the feel for it. Thanks again for the advice, much appreciated.

Did You select 200/83 KHz on sonar menu? Default settings is 200 KHz, as I remembered.

Also, be sure that the chart speed settings are not too low or too high.(from 5 to 7 recommended)
