Title: humminbird 859 ci hd reading problem
Post by: jepik on October 27, 2016, 11:56:35 PM

it will lose depth in the numbers of feet but will show rts window readings all the time..example.. reading will show 3 ft but the rts window will show correctly at 7.5 ft...when at idle both will read correctly..thanks

Maybe settings are all jacked up?
Try resetting defaults  - also if using 200/83KHz - try 200 KHz and turning sens. down a bit.

sfw1960..tried restoring defaults..switchfire to clear..under 20 ft. set at 200khz..did not get it.. although I think it help a little..seems not to lose the reading as much as it did..both still work at idle..rts window is a little more  diffcult to see now.. :'(

Well if you registered it for Humminbird Select within the 1st yr., you can probably have them check or fix....
