Hey guys. I have a Helix 5SI G1 unit. I know its a basic unit, but I am having issues where I cannot get a clear picture after turning my boat. Let me be clear, I understand the image that the unit will pick up when making a sharp turn. This is not that. Please see the image.
My scenario... I can cruise along and get a clear image. Once I mark some fish, I go past the mark and turn around to go back and mark the fish again. I get the typical noise on the unit that comes with turning around, but its after that clears. I get this image that you see on the right side of my image. It keeps reading that way even past the mark where I originally marked the fish.
Once I stop, let everything settle for a few minutes, and take off, I seem to get a clear image again. IF I mark fish and turn around to remark, the whole process starts over. Any ideas? its almost useless with this going on. Thanks!

I cannot download the pdf on my iPhone but ...
My suspicion is you’re seeing aerated water from your own previous boat track ...
