Yes, the Elite FS units are designed to show depth even at high speeds. However, the accuracy may vary depending on factors such as boat type, water conditions, and transducer installation.

Loss of bottom tracking can occur due to various factors, including boat speed, the angle of the transducer, and water conditions. At moderate speeds or when the boat is on step, the transducer may not be in the optimal position to read the bottom. Ensure that the transducer is installed correctly and at the proper angle. Additionally, adjust your speed or try to angle your boat differently to maintain better contact with the bottom. If issues persist, we recommend reviewing your unit's settings for fish-finding modes or making sure firmware is up to date.
