Troubled fishfinder

[Iceman]

Need some assistance: I have the Lowrance M68C Fish Finder/ GPS unit. Today, when fishing at 184 ft depth, the FF unit suddenly started flashing, the screen went clear, and the depth went from 184 ft to 5 ft. After that, nada, except when heading back into the harbor my depth gauge registered 225 ft when in fact we were in only 25ft of water.

It may have jumped to simulator, that unit will, when not getting a reading for 30 seconds or so. You need to go through the menu and reset it manually.

Thanks Andy. I set it back to the factory spec's on Friday and went out fishing yesterday. It seemed to be ok. A couple times the depth finder went a little haywire with incorrect depth readings when I passed the 200 ft depth. And only once did the unit powered off. But at least the screen did not clear! Thanks again. Roger
