Default lowrance

anybody had this problem?we have a lowrance chartplotter/depth finder and for some reason it has stopped reading the bottom in deep water.it works great until about 30' then it starts not showing the bottom.it will keep reading the depth until about 100' then it loses the depth all together.we used it all last summer in water up to 400' and it worked perfect.

Did you accidentaly set the lower limit to 30' ? Check your settings. If that doesnt help call Lowrance, they have great customer support.

Also check your frequency if it is a dual frequency trandsucer. It should be on the 200Mhz to read up to several hundred feet.
