Recent issues with my Cuda 350 too.
I've had mine for about one year and used it almost every Saturday w/o problems. Last trip, 1.5 weeks ago, my sonar showed bizarre vertical lines, a secondary bottom and no fish responses. That went on for over 15 minutes despite numerous reboots and reconnects.I had been fishing near a friend with a new sonar, so I'm going with the interference theory. I'll do more research and if I learn anything I’ll post.

I see, it's a feature. They all just have a little personality.

No problems with my 350. But, my old Fish Easy used to that sometimes. I usually wasn't with anyone else either.

Yeah the transducer from another nearby yak/boat can screw up the signal on your fish finder for sure. jorge stop following roby around and you won't have that problem.

No other fishfinders were around most of that time.

I think the small craft advisory kept a lot of people home on Saturday. During the first hour, there was hardly anyone on the water and no one was fishing.

It was the first time I've had to knock on the door for bait at the barge.

Later in the day, around 11am, I saw a party boat with about 30 guys dropping lines near the bridge & sail bay.

Too much

Will cause a "blurry" signal.

Leave the Hard stuff at home.

Jut to clarify....here are two definitions

Follow: come after somebody or something: to come after somebody or something in position, time, or sequence

Lead: To show the way to by going in advance.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Roby is usual following and not leading
