Chart Speed
The rate that echoes scroll across the screen is called the chart speed.
Maximum is the default. We recommend you leave the chart speed at
the default setting for most all fishing conditions. You, however, might
consider experimenting with chart speed when you are stationary or
drifting very slowly. You may achieve better fish signals when you de-
crease the chart speed until it matches your speed across the water.
If you are at anchor, ice fishing or fishing from a dock, experiment with
a chart speed around 50 percent. If you are drifting slowly, try a chart
speed around 75 percent. When you are stationary and a fish swims
through the sonar signal cone, the image appears on the screen as a
long line instead of a fish arch. Reducing the chart speed may result in
a shorter line that more closely resembles a regular fish return.

mum when you resume trolling or moving across the water at a higher
speed. To change chart speed:
