Thankks for sharing!!
You got a jack plate on your motor ? Reason I ask is my friend encounter a problem on one side of the side scan. Don't know if it has something to do with the motor being to close to the transducer.

I do have a jack plate and it does not interfere with the image. The motor sits a little further back than the transducer does.

Amazing. You can see the forked tail of a fish in that first photo. Now I just need one to tell me which colored jig will catch fish.
He is truly a sick individual.

Nope. I don't have any issues like that. It looks to me like interference. With all your electronics turned off and your motor not running does it still occur?

No ipilot on my boat, when big motor off and just vertical slabbing the issue is still there. Power supply is the fuse box under the consol just like the old unit I had. 5 amp fuse. Humminbird recommends at least 4 in the instruction Manuel. The issue wasn't there the first 15 or so times out. Now it seems to show up ever now and then.

Try wiring directly to the cranking battery with an inline fuse at the battery
