Simrad Evo 3 help setting custom depth
Submitted by wagyl on Mon, 2021-07-26 12:27
I need some help with my Simrad Evo 3 setting the custom depth. I can use it and zoom on the bottom up to 8X, but if I am in deeper water it reads fine with 8X zoom. I then try and set upper depth and lower depth, so say in 150m of water, I set the upper depth to 100m and the lower depth to 170m but it doesn't read. I have the same problem with my Elite TI so I must be doing something wrong. Any suggestions?

Use the Sonar menu options to set up the image. When the cursor
is active, some options on the Sonar menu are replaced with cursor
mode features. Select Clear cursor to return to the normal Sonar
menu.
The range
The range setting determines the water depth that is visible on the
screen.
Auto range
By default, the range is set to Auto. With Auto, the system
automatically displays the whole range from the water surface to
the bottom. Auto is the preferred setting for most fish finding sonar
use.
Preset range levels
Allows for the selection of a specific depth range that is not tied to
the depth of the water.
Custom range
This option allows you to manually set both upper and lower range
limits.
Note: Setting a custom range puts the sonar in manual
mode. If the bottom is well beyond the lower range set,

Thanks John
Its with Custom range that I have difficulty. Say in 120 metres, I set upper range limit to 90 metres and lower range limit to 140 metres so the actual depth is in the middle, and I don't get a picture.

Hey Wagyl , After you set
Hey Wagyl ,
After you set you upper and lower limits from memory there is a side bar that you can drag the shaded area down to the bottom and get the reading , if that makes sense.

I think when you've got a
I think when you've got a custom range the unit doesn t automatically zoom in on the bottom. Like someone said you'll have to drag down the viewable section. Or zoom out and you should see the bottom.
