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
MENU until the RANGE menu appears. Use the arrow keys to select the
desired range. When you're finished, press PWR to clear the menu from
the display.
Next, press MENU DOWN until the CHART SETUP menu appears, then
press UP ARROW to enter the list of Chart Setup commands, where the
LIMIT SEARCH menu appears. Press UP ARROW to turn it on and press
PWR to clear the menu.

To turn Limit Search off, repeat the above steps but press the DOWN

back to automatic. This will restore the digital sonar's ability to auto-
matically track the bottom.
