well
I never give up
so far turning the dial for depth is working.
kinda lazy about taking it apart and boxing it up.
if it seems that this is a defect with some having the same prob,
I can always take it all back to West Marine and break out my
extended warranty paperwork.
when I orig set up my
dragonfly
it didn't have this problem
it came about on its own getting worse over time
battery is fairly new
12v 10.5 ah
Chrome brand thru amazon
wondering if the issue could be related to a failing battery
doesn't seem so
otherwise reads fine all day at least 9-10 hours

Ps
did find out some info reading Raymarines forum
http://raymarine.ning.com/forum/topi...-serious-issue
might be a firmware bug
