Thank you for that bit of advice. Do you know why the boat keeps sinking when you set a certain depth in the red zone and it just keeps diving? Even when leveled out and stopped?
I have seen other discussions about this somewhere on the forum, but not for a while. I believe it has to do with water temperature and density. The deeper you go, the colder the water, and the less buoyancy in the boat. The 500' level seems to be the break point. Go lower and you have to increase speed to maintain depth, but that might not be enough either. The added noise will only add to the problems that caused you to go that deep in the first place. Best advice: stay at 500' or above or be prepared for the consequences. Good Luck!
