Need help with setting on 798
« on: August 08, 2011, 07:10:55 PM »
see left side image. I have a 2002 Triton Crappie 175 with a 60hp with no jack plate so  I think it is motor interference going on with the left side. How can I fix this?

It also looks like you may have something on the bottom of the left side of your hull (throughull for live well maybe?) that is causing some surface turbulence on the left side.  What was your speed during that scan?  You may need to slow down.

OK, I just noticd the two through hull fittings in the centre of the transom.  My bet is that they are creating turbulence that is causing the lines.  In fact, you can see the turbulence on the left side at the top of the water column.  Speed may be a factor.  try slowing down when scanning.

The image looks good around 2.5 to 3.0 MPH. I had to lower my speed and yes I  have the two livewell  intake which could be the other issue on the left side. Thanks for your help and input on my issue. I dropped my transducer 1/8 of a inch from the bottom and hope this help as well. My boat is in the shop now because it was over heating.

hat's what i thought.  I have a thru-hill fitting on the left side of my boat and I get those same lines on the left if I side scan more than 3 mph due to surface turbulence.
