Location: Oregon, WI | The firmware may not be up to date since I see there was a new update 5/10/2013. Was up to date prior to the beginning of season though.
None of the imaging, side or down, and sonar are working. The sonar can't seem to find bottom. It's acting as if the sensitivity is turned all the way down. It locks onto the bottom for a second, after about 3 seconds, the depth reading starts blinking, then it finds it again for a second. Display doesn't show anything usable though. This repeats every 5 seconds or so. 998 is new this year and had been working fine up until thursday when I was on the water. Tried powering down several times to no avail. Don't know for sure since it came setup with the boat, but I believe it's only using the one transducer. The 788 on the bow is using the universal transducer on the trolling motor and is working. Did not try reseting to defaults. Would have to get back on the water to see if that would clear things up. |
