Title: 798 speed
Post by: crankin007 on February 19, 2013, 02:03:06 AM

hey wanted to know what settings do you mess with to get your si to run at slower speeds. my boat is electric only and i've seen some of the snapshots with the gps reading 2 to 3mph.....does anyone know how this is achieved?

I think that most will slow the Chart Speed menu setting down to match the boat speed while others like to leave the Chart Speed at a faster setting.  It really depends on what you are trying to so with the Si sonar.
