    If you are running 4.0 or higher open the structure page, hit the power button. You should have several options come up, one should be "edit overlay". Select "edit overlay" then "menu" from the top right hand of the screen. In the menu there will be "add", select it and the "choose data" window will appear. On the "choose data" window select "sonar", there will be several options there too, The "depth" box will already have a check if you have the depth showing on that page. There will be an option for "structure" or "structure depth", select it and save IIRC. You should now have a depth reading from you structure scan.

    Will this allow the depth to work at "cruising speed"?

    Thanks. Just checked today, the unit is on v 3.0. Never been updated. Looks like an update is in order.

    Thanks again.

    Ok. Updated software from
    v 3.0 to v 6.0. I followed the instruction from Justinp61 and the structure now shows a structure depth on the screen. The boat was out of the water so I will check it the next trip.

    Thanks again to Justinp61 and all others that helped.
