Depth Trouble
can anyone help please?
i have a 720 chartplotter, when i first start my boat and crawl along at 6knots the depth sounder works fine, then when i give it some throttle , it flashes at the depth i was at when i gave it throttle, it will only flash that depth, i have to switch it off to regain the depth sounder, its good for 6 knots but after that its no use.
