I just purchased a lowrance x510C. I have read many posts regarding lowrance units losing bottom/depth reading in shallow water. But never heard anything bad about the 510C.
This past weekend, I was in about 8ft of water, the bottom must have been pretty soft because the sonar could barely pick up the bottom. I tried increasing the sensitivity and that did seem to help, but did not completely solve the problem. Many times the depth reading would just blink for a few seconds and then eventually start reading again. Everything seemed to work great on hard bottoms, with no weeds.
I hooked the transducer to my 20C, which I primarily use for GPS, and my 20C would read the depth just fine. Since the bottom was soft, it still had a hard time picking up the bottom, but at least it worked.
anyone else have this problem with the 510C? How do I fix it?

there a bugger to clean but oh so worth it.
mom used to brown it rolled in flour and salt and pepper. put it in a roaster add onions, dry onion soup mix and bake it. depending on how bog or old it was pretty much depended on how long it needed to bake!!!!! usually a good 3-4 hours!!!!
Any recs on how to find a good general dentist in Stamford? I will be paying cash. Getting a referral from a trusted friend or family member would be nice but let's say this isn't an option.
Thanks
