I have a M68c Ice Machine. I love it. Not familiar with your model but I am sure that it is similar with its operation. First shut your auto depth and sensitivity off. You may want to leave the auto depth on while checking depths, but once you are set up turn it off.

Do you have a flasher mode? I do and I never use it. I just use the graph. If you have split zoom on your graph I reccomend using that as well.

I do not think that you will have any issue seeing your lure. When in graph mode, set you lure to your depth and then crank down the sensitivity so all you will see is a thin line. This really helps with judging the size of the fish that will come by.

I drill three holes in my FT. Kind of in a triangle, I normally can see both of my lures. My holes are about 3 to 4 feet apart.

Where do you fish at? I am in the Metro and go out quite a bit and would not mind meeting up if I am headed out the same time. If you have any issues just make another post. I check it about every day or so. Or send me and email [email protected]
