If its a furuno, Take it off Auto and wind up the "Pre gain" in the initial settings and then try adusting the tvg, medium is a good place to start. And use the gain control.
Use set the range to 50 (I set mine to 20m) and the "shift function to move the display down to the bottom. You should end up only seeing the bottom 50m spread over the while screen.
