350 Express cruiser:Depth finder

charlieanna1983

I really feel stupid asking this question but I still haven't been able to figure out how the depth finder on my 350 EC works. After you get the depth finder powered on there seems to be different "modes" when you press the screen. I seem to be able to set the depth for when the alarm should sound off but how do I get it to a point where it is just measuring the actual depth of water and will continually change as you move the boat through the water.
I seem not to be able to get to the mode that provides the actual depth. Should the screen have a symbol on it that indicates what mode it is in? (i.e. alarm set, etc). hope this is clear to everyone.
thanks.

If there’s a mode that’s dashed out that’s probably the screen you want. The transducer might need to be cleaned or it’s just not working anymore.

Thank you. What do I need to do to clean the transducer?

If it’s in the water you will have to get in and go under and scrub it with the hard side of a sponge. Hopefully it wasn’t bottom painted over.
