Why can't my Mark 5X unit find the depth or bottom? States that it's only 2 feet when it's 20.

because they are garbage units. I have to turn mine off and on many times to get it to work and I can assure you, it will only get worse. The warranty program sucks and you will get no satisfaction there.

I encountered this problem previously unknown And I skipped this problem after that I've installed a transmitter inside the boat and not outside I apologize for not being able to explain more because of the weakness of my English :)

Good question but I've got one better. Why doesn't my Mark 5 work at all? Sent it back to the factory and they said it was fine and sent it back. I re-installed, it still doesn't work. At all. I've installed a dozen of these things over the years and this is the first one I can't get to work. Sorry.

I bought one for my boat as a secondary unit in the back beam. After 5 fishing trips mine reads "0" feet at all times now.

Well Gabriela, I am just testing my machine out, but I did locate a dime at over 8 inches. However, obviously the depth depends very much on the ground conditions.Hope this helps.John

You try turning the gauge after measuring (without touching the barrel). There are measurements & lines in between the lines that you are seeing

Took it to Hawaii. Took it to bout 20ft. Of course pictures were better when closer to surface but it worked well for the price. Not sure what depth it is rated.

It's probably because you overfilled it and/or used the wrong paddle. I always try to fill just below the fill line because it doesn't take much to overfill (the line is under the word "MAX").

I am sure the depth finder will work fine. Probably need to see about a map apart from the one that comes on it.You would be able to use the GPS also.

I'm sorry. I don't understand your question. Do you want to measure sound on different parts of a 50-75 ft area? For example, if the property is on a hillside, the sound levels might be different at the top than at the bottom. You actually have to measure the sound (while holding the meter) where you are located. So if you are atop a hill, you would not be able to measure the sound at the bottom unless you were physically at the bottom. You might review answers to other questions about this product to see if they are helpful. Also, contact the manufacturer's customer service department.

It's been a while since I bought it but I believe that it 20 ft. I went deeper than that. I had no problems but w/out extra light, the fish begin to "lose color".

Check your float and turn the button so it has two numbers on it. this should solve this problem.

Sorry, this was a gift so I can't measure, but you're right, 1.5 inches doesn't make sense. I am working off memory but just estimating it may have been about a foot deep.

I checked my printed users manual and it only says unit is in feet or metric but not how to change from one to the other. I would try geomate or apisphere forum pages not the web or geocaching sites

My experience there's no depth control. I just let it dig in and it mixes it up from 4-8 inches. It's so lightweight you can pull it off/up if it's going too far down.

It's not good below 2 or 3 inches. I believe that you need a smaller pump for that depth.

This a correction to my last answer a few minutes ago. The depth is actually 19".

I have a through hull US sensor and it works fine in the Gulf of Mexico at all speeds and depths to 50'. Probably faster and deeper but I only go out 15 miles to 50' deep.

Ted - I think the directions state that the altimeter won't register below 30'.

Yes...it is not spring loaded...just a slider. Once you get the depth set you just gently turn the indicator and read the line corresponding to the correct depth.
