Just got my new 1197 on the water today and had a problem. My SI transducer is mounted on the right side of my boat – nothing is below it. I get horizontal lines constantly displayed on the right side display. I switched from main motor to trolling motor thinking it may be electrical but that didn’t help. No lines on left side. Any ideas?
Anything to the right of it? Any pics?
Does the transducer have a clear veiw of the right side? There can be no obstructions from the SURFACE of the water and down it has to have a completely clear veiw 180 degrees. Is your transducer level from right to left? Are you low enough in the water so you are not getting water turbulence from the hull? Did you try it when the boat was not moving?
Something is blocking the signal, had the same issue. Post a pic so we can comment
There’s nothing blocking the right side – but the screen over the livewell pump in-take is very close to the bottom of the transducer on the left but that side does not have any interference?????
