That makes me feel better since I looked on Yamaha site and the watercraft brand said not recommended for outboards.

That part I did do right. I didn’t even realize they made different kinds for outboards vs. watercraft .

I hope so Chuck. . Thx ken

I’ve had same issue before. As last resort, do as last post said and reboot, else sometimes if you tap the power button you can see brightness option. Once you try to make change , it will fix it.

Mike – you need to move to sunny Georgia where the weather is mostly good year round!!!!!!!!

John – you put your money on the right thing. It was the Local/Global setting. I did find out that if you change that setting you have to reboot your unit in order to save setting. Thx to you and Mike for your help. Ken

Thanks Mike – I will post here once I figure it out. Unfortunately wont be near unit until tonight. Ken

Thanks John – I will check that setting. This makes sense as for me I recently turned off the sonar network option as I like to configure the hds7 at trolling motor different from hds8 at console. Thanks again – ken

Thanks Mike – I will verify when I can get back to my unit. However on my sonar page it shows temp with a – – -? So I assumed the data overlay as set but I will check. Thanks again. Ken
