cloudy on right side 598

--- Quote from: Kenai on October 12, 2018, 05:58:08 AM ---Thanks for your answer rnvinc. I have bought my unit in 2013 so it is definitely out of warranty. Before I start to dealing with HB support I wish to be sure it could not be something on my side.
I already tried: Restore Defaults, check wiring, triple check transducer position.
If I manage to get on water today, I will try to balance boat perfectly even. And try it without any other electronic on board.
Also wish to take some more snapshots of this problem for HB support. I will be very happy, if I can resolve this problem without sending anything to HB factory. It is terrible, time consuming process to get something to USA from Slovak Republic and even worse to get it back thru customs.

What is your normal scanning speed ...??

Kenai:
1,4-1,6 mph, chart speed at 2. Trolling motor is at bow. Transducer is on transom, starboard side. None outboard motor.
The clutter is there even if I'm not moving at all. When I check the recording in humviewer it looks much worse then in real time. Probably small resolution of 598 mask it partially. I don't made it on water yesterday, hopefully I will succeeded at Monday.

The real oddity with your scenario is that is seems to only show in deeper water ...
A transducer problem usually shows on one (or both) sides of the SI image regardless of depth ...
I'm out of ideas unless you can test that xducer on another unit or test your head unit on another xducer ...

Finally I made it to the lake. After today testing, I'm not even a bit closer to solving this problem. Only ting I can say for sure is, that's not electric interference, it is not cosed by boat tilt, or trolling motor turbulence. Water was quite choppy from strong wind today. At first, I tried anchor at the bow and run SI without moving. Picture 1. Clutter fill whole right side of SI. It was impassible to hold straight on that waves so I pulled anchor up and start moving on trolling motor. Magically, everything worked great, for couple hours. Then it started to show up again. At first for seconds. Pic 2 And on the way home, the clutter was there once again permanently. :'( Pic3
rnvinc:
Your installation looks fine for your boat hull style ...
There's not much else you can check without crosstesting another known working xducer or head unit ...
