  1. Make sure you have the transducer on the port side of the boat and point it 3 degrees toward the bow. Best way to set it up is with the iphone level app. you will have to run the transducer at 83htz tho. Mine stays perfect if i do that. Lowrance all in 1 transducer can chirp too so make sure that it's turned off. I've fixed this problem a bunch of times and it's usually because people don't realize what's running. Any frequency between 90 and 155 will interfere with the cannon transducer
  2. Hey Everyone, Been reading about this topic for a couple years and I finally found a solution for my setup anyway. I wrote Cannon the following : "I know you get a lot of questions about the bottom track feature on digi troll 10's. I have two of them which I have struggled to get to work properly for a couple years and since I figured out the problem I figured I would pass the solution along because it is simple and I bet a lot of people are making the same mistake. I have a Lowrance units on my boat which I love and I have an 83/200 khz transducer on the front of my boat and Airmar TM150 on the back. I found the solution because I can run my Airmar chirp transducer on custom frequencies. If I run it anywhere between 95 and 145 khz the depth reading on the downriggers go crazy. It can't keep a consistent depth at all. When I go up to 150 khz, the depth stays consistent for a while and darts around maybe once a minute. I'm guessing guessing if it was at 200khz like a lot of people run, it would only mess up every once and a while but if you run your transducer at 83 khz it stays perfect all the time and never jumps around. I know that the cannon transducer is 120khz but I think it's very sensitive to other signals. You are usually in 80-140 feet of water when you use bottom track so 83khz is a good setting anyway. I think I'm right in saying that people starting having this problem right around the time that Lowrance added a feature that allows your units to CHIRP any transducer. If I set my transducer to chirp, the Cannon jumps everywhere from 600 ft to 50ft. So the solution is to run your unit at 83khz when using bottom track and switch back to your favorite settings when you are not using that feature. I am interested to know if you have heard of this before? Have a good day" Hope this helps some of you
