hey guys im confused. glued my transducer in like everyone suggested etc but when I got on the water it looked like this:

Pic of tranducer...
Possible a bottom holding setting, mine did something similiar once.

Take it out to deeper water. From memory there was a mention on vyak about anything under 1.3m or similar. Pretty sure it was in your topic.

yeah that was about on old model the Garmin echo 300c (I think) and j got a flashy neew striker 4.
I was planing on testing it out in deeper water but it was too rough on the water I didn't feel safe

I couldn't remember what model it was about lol.

Going by the pic, it looks like its about .5m deep, when you get a chance try it in deeper water, even just a meter should give you an idea if it's working or if you have issues.
Also read the manual a cpl of times, I've gone thru mine a dozen times for the hook4 and still find things I've missed.

I'll head out next time in a good day and test it again, I have a feeling I had it too zoomed out because in the water it was shallow enough I thought I would hit bottom

Just go to Patto or the nearest location out of the weather with known deep water to test.

A while ago, there was a post about settings for a sounder in PPB and WPB. With one of the setting ensure that it is set for general use. Mine had an issue with holding bottom and that was the issue.

Also ensure that the software on the fish finder is up to date.
