Morning all
I recently purchased a FCV-587 and took it out on the water for the first time today.
Unit works fine (well, I assume it does, the water was cold and green, no bait).
The only problem is the ACCU-FISH. I had AF on (with it set to show fish size, using the box indicator) and it was showing a box and fish size, but no arch/blob that one usually associates with a solid sounder echo.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
The link below is to a pic I took on the water, shows what I'm referring to, lots of AF hits, but no echos in the 'boxes'.
I had my old sounder running at the same time and it did not show any returns so I'm thinking that somehow AF is going off when there are no fish around.
Is this even possible?
If it is possible, is there a known fix?
If it makes any difference, the unit is mounted between the engines on a mono-hull and reads bottom fine.
Thanks in advance.
