I have a Lowrance 4 Elite and it works well most of the time. However, sometimes the depth finder goes crazy and thinks it’s in real shallow water. It seems to happen more often when I’m moving fast. All of the sudden the thing gives the shallow water alarm (set at 3 feet) even though I am in deep water. I’ve been running down the ICW where I know it’s 15 to 25 feet deep and all of the sudden it alarms and says I’m in 1.5 feet. It’s a pretty new unit, only 6 months old and only been in the water 15 - 20 times.
Anyone had this happen or know how to fix it?
Check your software and see if there is an updated version.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Thanks for the tip. I looked at that and I think I have the latest version. Also, I need a 2GB micro SD card (largest the device supports) to update it and those aren’t easy to find - they don’t sell them that small anywhere I’ve looked.
verizon or any cell company should have the sd card
