What causes no depth reading on my Raymarine Sonar?
- A

  If your Raymarine Sonar is not showing a depth reading or has lost bottom lock, check the following: * Transducer location: Verify that the transducer has been installed according to the provided instructions. * Transducer angle: Adjust the transducer angle if it's too great, as the beam might be missing the bottom. * Transducer kicked-up: If the transducer has a kick-up mechanism, ensure it hasn't been activated by hitting an object.

  jessica01Nov 6, 2025
  The scrolling image may not be displayed on your Raymarine Sonar for several reasons: * Sonar may be disabled: Enable Ping from the Sonar app’s sounder tab: Menu > Settings > Sounder > Ping. * Incorrect transducer selected: Check that the correct transducer is selected in the Sonar app’s Transducer tab: Menu > Settings > Transducer > Ping. * Damaged cables: Check the transducer cable connector, power supply cable, and vessel's battery voltage for damage or corrosion. Replace if necessary. * Damaged or fouled transducer: Ensure the transducer is not damaged and is free from debris/fouling. Clean or replace as needed. * Wrong transducer fitted: Ensure that the transducer is compatible with your system. * External sonar module: SeaTalkhs / RayNet network problem: Check that the u...

What to do if my Raymarine CP570 Sonar has a poor or problematic image?
- M

  If your Raymarine Sonar displays a poor image, consider these potential causes and solutions: * If your vessel is stationary, targets will appear differently (e.g.: fish will appear on the display as straight lines). Increase vessel speed. * If scrolling is paused or speed is set too low, unpause or increase sonar scrolling speed. * Sensitivity settings may be inappropriate for present conditions, so check and adjust sensitivity settings or perform a Sonar reset. * Damaged cables can cause image issues. Check the unit’s connector for broken or bent pins. Check that the cable connector is fully inserted into the unit and that the locking collar is in the locked position. Check the cable and connectors for signs of damage or corrosion, replace if necessary. Check the vessel’s batter...
