High boat speed and slow ping speed (caused by the deeper bottom) can
reduce the screen refresh rate. This in turn can reduce the amount of
detail seen on the sonar chart. Try this command only if you are in deep
water, traveling at high speed, and notice a reduction in detail on the
sonar chart. When Limit Search is turned on, the digital sonar will
limit its search for the bottom to the depth range you have set for the
sonar chart.
NOTE:
Turning Limit Search on can cause the digital sonar to lose the bot-
tom in some situations. The digital depth will flash if that occurs.
The sonar chart must be in manual depth range mode to use the Limit
Search command. To switch from auto depth range to manual, press
