Sorry to disturb you with a technical question. No, I'm not really, so here it is.
Whilst doing trials on new boat we found that for no apparent reason the depth reading on the fish finder would suddenly jump from a correct reading of say 6m, to 100+m. This happened at low speeds - 5 to 10 knts and could only be cured by turning off the set a few times and then turning it back on. The animal in this instance is a FishEagle 2 which we will use as a clearer depth gauge than the Autohelm Bidata that came with the boat. Unfortunately the latter didn't register any depths at all, though the speed read ok. We have taken this out and sent it back.
The transducer for the FF is fixed in the engine compartment bilge and is a through hull type.
Any suggestions as to what we should try ?
