Bottom Finder question
Just a quick question. I have a Furuno FCV-582L bottom finder on my Trophy. The transducer is mounted on the starboard side of the transom, about 1 foot to the right of the outboard. Now I know that once you get up to a certain speed,all sounderswill losetheir depth finding,but mine seems to cut out at about 6to10 mph, which is kinda slow cruising speed. This makes it kinda scary when Im in thebay getting close to shore, as the depths get really shallow really fast. I can slow backdownand about stop and it will reaquire the bottom.
Do you guys think that maybe the transducer is mounted too close to the motor wash making to lose signal too fast, or is this what everybody goes through? By the way, I love the sounder andwill not replace it at this point.
Thanks in advance
Mike
