I will check on it for you.

Have you tried switching to "clear mode" when in shallow water?

Here are my base settings...I adjust to match the conditions during the day.

SI Sensitivity: 8 to 12 (Lower for hard bottoms, higher for soft bottoms)
SI Enhance Settings: Off for Crisp Images - Low or Med to make it easier to see fish
---Sensitivity: This is the same sensitivity as above
---Contrast: I leave it at 10 most of the time
Scroll Speed: Make boat speed or a little slower 2-3 when idling for me
SI Transducer Frequency: 455kHz for largest coverage area (90% of time) 800 kHz when looking for more detail (10% of the time)

DI Sensitivity: 10-12 this is seperate of SI or 2D Sensitivity
DI Coverage: Wide for more data or Narrow when only looking under boat

2D Sonar Frequency:
Switchfire Mode: Max for Vertical Fishing and Water over 10', Clear Mode when I want to see fish only
Sensitivity: Varies per conditions and which Mode I'm using
