    Turn sharpness of. Looks like you're running on 800. Use 400 instead.

    First get rid of the white around the numbers on the left so you have more screen space

    I would do a split screen of 2d and di. 2d might mark fish more accuratly

    I think it would help u to have the 2d view showing also.by having di/si and 2d all showing at the same time,u can compare what being displayed.
    From looking at the picture that u posted,the unit appears to be working,but there's really no way to no for sure from looking at the picture.
    I think that u should restore defaults first.choose the three way view (si/di and 2d)find some kind of known structure to scan and only adjust the sensitivity as needed.nothing else.do this until u get a better feel for what the unit can do and display.Go over the structure at different speeds and try different directions to. (Please send us some more picture also.u will get lots of help here)

    I got frustrated at 1st with mine. But the more I used it the better things started to look. The guys on here helped alot to but time time time and more time with it on the water and off is the only thing that will get you right. Would be happy to share some settings and pics that I have taken of fish and structure over the last year with you just PM me and let me know if you would like me to help
    A bad day fishing is better then a good day at work. Unless u fish for a living
