Issues with both my Helix graphs - 08/15/19 05:21 PM
Looking for someone to take out either my 998 SI or Helix 7 to make sure head unit is working properly.
998 SI - horizontal lines on the DI and shows up on one side of the SI. Could be interference, but might also be the head unit itself. Had this for a year and I just haven't done anything about it. Really love for someone to take out my head unit just to see.
Helix 7 G2N DI - DI only acting really weird. Tons of interference that just showed. Noticed the cable going to the trolling motor transducer is crimped coming out of the unit so pretty sure this is the transducer. I had had a friend driving the front and dropped the trolling motor on the wire early spring and so I made sure I had it all tied down tight and I guess I didn't leave enough room for the wire as it comes underneath the transducer. Going to really chap my [censored] to replace 2 transducers in one summer.
Reverse would also be interesting. If someone has either a Helix 7 or unit compatible with the 998 SI transducer (Humminbird XHS 9 HDSI 180 T) that I could try. Either would help me diagnose. My boat's at the marina on Joe Pool and I live in Arlington, but can drop my units by anywhere within reasonable distance.
