I rarely use DI. The DI view is a blend of the two SI pulses so it will be more "blurry". Use a Sensitivity setting about 2 numbers higher than the SI Sensitivity. The brown color pallet, for me, produces the best DI images. You do set the Chart Speed to the GPS speed ????????????????????? Don't take a photo, take a unit screen snapshot. This is with a 1198 and your unit has a higher resolution display than that (pixels per square inch)

Just choose the DI view when using that transducer. It will show as the right side SI in the SI view. The transom DI transducer is the XNT 9 DI T.

I have the same problem. On the 899 the DI is good. On the 898, I stopped even using it because it doesn't come out clear and doesn't read as much as the 2d or SI. I also have a 587 and the DI seems much better. I just thought that I had a bad unit. I have the other transducer, I will have to give it a try. I'd rather have DI than Si on the front of the boat.
