What to do if my Furuno Marine Equipment position readout is unrealistic or not shown?
If the position readout on your Furuno Marine Equipment is unrealistic or not displayed, first check the connection between the sounder and the navigator. If the connection is secure, then inspect the navigator itself to ensure it is functioning correctly.
Why is there extreme interference or noise on my Furuno Marine Equipment?
Extreme interference or noise on your Furuno Marine Equipment may be due to several factors. Check if the transducer is too close to the engine. Also, ensure the unit is properly grounded. Finally, verify that other echo sounders operating on the same frequency are not nearby.
How to fix unrealistic speed or water temperature readout on Furuno Marine Equipment?
If the speed and/or water temperature readout on your Furuno Marine Equipment is unrealistic or not shown, check that the sensor is properly connected.
