Change the scroll speed

The scroll speed of the Sounder screen is affected by the depth of the water as well
as the scroll speed that you choose. Any change is applied only to your Sounder
screen. However, if another 8000i display unit is operating the sounder at a
different frequency to you, the scroll speed will slow.
Generally, the scroll speed slows down when the water depth increases because
the sonar signals have to travel over longer distances.
If you're looking for fish, a faster scroll speed combined with a slow boat speed -
typically between 2 and 6 knots - generally produces the best fish detail.
To change the scroll speed:
1. Display the Sounder screen and the control panel. If you can't see the
Settings button, select Return.
2. Select Settings.
