Hi all,
went out two days ago to do some scanning close to shore and had the depth alarm set to a depth of 2 metres. After a while dark clouds started to close in from South West and within the next 15 minutes a major thunder storm passed over. Visibility dropped to less than 50 metres. I wasn't scared at all, but forgot to take pictures.
All of a sudden the depth alarm started to sound off, allthough I was still in waters with at least 10 metres depth. Whenever I acknowledged the alarm, it started again after a couple of seconds, so I finally turned the alarm completely off.
I wondered if the alarm was triggered by the heavy rain.
Has anyone experienced something like this as well?
Regards from Germany
Harry
