Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 7 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Garmin 550c Wow, nice unit. Simple menu operation and great screen quality. Just make sure you place the transducer cable correctly in the mount or the screen will stay in demo mode. The pin guide for the power cable and the transducer cable don't align in the same direction. March 31, 2013

Staff Answer
A: 
The transducer should be accurate in 10 feet or less of water. To prevent losing depth readings in shallow water, you can make a few changes to your sonar settings. Please try the following:
o Check the frequency setting on the sonar device. If a dual frequency transducer is being used, the frequency may need to be set to Dual Frequency or 200 kHz when operating in shallow water. The 50 kHz frequency may be too strong in shallow waters.
o Change the Range setting to Auto
o Manually adjust the Gain setting. The Gain setting is the sensitivity of the transducer. If the device is having troubles reading in certain areas of shallow waters, try decreasing the Gain setting. This will decrease the way the transducer reads stronger return signals in shallow waters.
