MeanFish Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Yesterday I went out and had this issue on my livescope where it looked like 3 "Beams" shooting down into the water from the transducer and also seemed like i could only see about 3/4 as far as normal. The water was fairly muddy from rain and also lots of pollen on the surface but i didn't have this issue in other lakes that were just as muddy and i find it hard to beleive pollen could mess it up this bad. Any one else had this issue or know how to solve it? ( i will attach a picture of it in a few hours when im off work so yall could see a visual) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriperAddict Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 You should go over to Bass Boat Central to the Garmin forum also. Some of those guys know this tech in and out. Good luck MeanFish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastciderida Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Ever figure out how to fix that? Went out today after installing the transducer on a zero degree mount and my whole screen looked like that. I’m thinking one of the beams was bouncing off the pole a little because I had it mounted and the pole was down below the side of the transducer a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaika Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Common issue with zero degree mounts over hard bottom; there have been a bunch of threads about this on the Garmin board when guys get their new fancy mount and suddenly have interference. If you’ve got one, maybe try the stock Garmin mount and see if the interference goes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched some videos yesterday could be the case. 8deg stock mount worked fine but I couldn’t get it lined up as easy with my bait. I have it mounted to an old transom mount motor pole and did have the pole a little below the transducer thinking that could have made it worse so readjusted the pole and I’ll see if that fixed it first before going back to the 8 deg. ikaika 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have it on a 0 degree mount, its on the original still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
