I’ve noticed that my depth finder doesn’t show as much detail when I’m in salt water…even in the down scan mode it just doesn’t seem to perform as well as in fresh water. Do I need to change some settings when I’m in saltwater to get more detail ? Hummingbird 597 HD DI.

change your user mode to “Advanced” then go to the sonar menu and change your water type to “Salt-Shallow” or “Salt-Deep”. i believe it is set to “Fresh” by default
You will never have as clear of a picture in salt as you do fresh. That’s just the way it is due to the salt molecules in the water. But, what “themechanic” said will help if it isn’t already set to salt.

Thanks for the info, guys…will definitely give that a try the next time I get to the coast.
