    No clue, maybe reset factory settings, reboot, and see if that helps???

    This is just a guess because I don’t have access to my Helix at the moment. It looks like your upper range is set to 2ft and lower range is set to 50ft. It could be that the max depth setting is set at 38ft for some reason. Click menu twice, scroll to sonar, and check what “max depth” is set to. Should be set to auto or a depth that is deeper than what you are fishing.

    Good luck!

    Agree. Looks like the Max depth setting has been adjusted.

    That happened to me over the week end with my helix 7. I did what Fishinfol said and fixed it

    Just to be clear, the “max depth” setting is independent of the upper and lower range settings.

    Just blame it on me. All those buttons and settings………. I have 2 Garmin 73sv on my boat, for a couple years and I still do not know how to use all the features. UGH.
