i just want 15 tipups...........

My unit is the Furuno LS6100 and the filters were "on", so I turned them off and that helped. However, I still lost the weights below 65 ft. pulling lines. I didn't see any other settings to fiddle with, but we were hooking into fish and I may not have gone through all the screens. I think I may just tilt the transducer a bit. I have a second FF mounted on board that we use for shallow depths in the bay, I can always use that one if I need the true depth at any time. I still find it strange that I can't see the weights though. The only other factors I can think of are 1) I have been going by the SOG on the FF and not the new GPS that I am still getting accustomed to (can't get the SOG to display yet) and setting up (I need a set of maps on a flashcard) so I think I may be trucking along a lot faster than the FF says, or 2) I use 11' rods on the riggers and they are angled fairly high (say 60 or 70 degrees off of horizontal versus tipped down towards the back of the boat like I see on a lot of the charter boats) so when I keep them taught perhaps they are pulling up on the weights and creating more swayback. Once I get the GPS all situated I will be able to check the speed.

for 800 bucks get a new lowrance hd unit

end the guesswork

you say you havent marked a fish, but dont know where your balls are? if you arnet reading your balls on your graph, i wouldent worry about seeing fish on it........ because you got other problems

temp at the ball is more important than "seeing" fish on your graph anyways

and assuming your graph isnt junk, how is the angle of your transducer..... does it seem to work right in shallow water? skip out at more than a troll??? if your catching fish, are you duplicating any constant???

i need some more information to assess this situation.

but my gut tells me your running some old ass graph

i dont even know why you would ever buy one...... read the online reviews and get a raider

seriously

My batteries went dead last night and left me stranded. I had those things in there since April 4th and used them for over 40 trips then all of a sudden nothing not even a speed reading. My bulk package of spare batteries ............. all used by my kids over the last 4 months for their video games. I'm writting a letter.........if the batteries are going to run out they ought to run out before my kids have time to use up my 64 pack of spares!!!
