Furuno 588 auto interference

 Hello 

My furuno 588 with TM260 transom mount run well in manual gainbut as soon as I select auto gain the screen becomes unreadable full clutter top to bottom 

I've have a boat yard adjust the height and angle but cannot run in auto 

Any suggestions

Don’t use auto, simple solution. Always run in manual and you will get the best out of the unit.

 Hello Vic Dory

Yeah I understand that and do when I'm nearing a spot

 

I'm just trying to work out why this is the case though it shouldn't be unreadable in auto the whole screen goes full clutter top to bottom and is clear as soon as you go to manual

Auto will take a while to sort itself out, does it come good if you leave it in auto for a while.

Gain

 Is the auto gain on fishing or cruising. By the sounds of it you are cruising so you should select auto cruising. Cruising and Fishing have different settings. That is cruising has less power gain etc so interference is reduced at speed where as fishing has a lot oomph in auto so you can detect fish and structure whilst movibg around slower.

Hope that solves your issue
