weekendfisher Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hi Guys, Not sure if this is the right place so feel free to move it if not. Just after some help with my fish finder it is an Eagle fish mark 320 i have jut taken it off my old boat and fitted it to my new one after doing this i am getting wrong depth readings from the sensor, I have it sitting on the trailer about 2FT off the ground but the display shows me 7FT it does change when i lift or lower the boat but is about 5 FT out at all times. If anyone can tell me how to adjust the sensor or reset the unit i would appreciate it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggs Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 are you running the sounder out of the water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekendfisher Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hey, Yeah i am running it out of water, it used to read correctly when it was out of water. I finally found the manual for it and it says i can adjust the offset to compensate for the location on the transom so i will try using that. I just want it accurate so i can use the low water alarm and have it reading correclty. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tareeterror Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Most sounders wont work correctly out of water due to the air gap between transducer and the ground. surprised you say it worked good out of water before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
