I have a hook 4 that I use for ice fishing and on my John boat that seems to be having trouble registering the depth at times. Mostly when I switch holes or make a run. I also have both the ice and boat ducer and they both do it. I’ve tried adjusting the sensitivity and left it on auto but it doesn’t make a difference. If the water depth is fairly uniform I’ve been setting the depth and reading it off the graph but on the river going from 5-30ft can be frustrating. The funny thing is it picks up the depth almost immediately when first turn it on so I’ve been restarting it after I make a run. If I’m going slow it has no trouble keeping up its just when there is some sort of turbulence or its out of the water. I’ve also tried adjusting the placement on my boat but with the places I go I’m afraid af setting it below the bottom of the hual because I know it will get ripped off (jumping logs in the bacwaters).
I’ve had the unit for almost two years so I don’t think it’s under warranty anymore or if it would even be covered. My next step was to call customer service but I thought I’d ask on here first.
Any suggestions?
