New Humminbird Helix, transducer is mounted correctly. I’m struggling with the unit maintaining depth accuracy…very often under power, even down to idle speeds. Cruising it definitely loses contact.
Even when drifting or up of the trolling motor, it often starts reading in the neighborhood of 70-80ft while fishing 16 ft.
I’m ALMOST certain the ‘ducer is mounted and angled correctly with one exception. Recommended starboard mounting for my boat due to clockwise turning of the prop. I had to mount on port side; is it making THAT big a difference? Prop wash and cavitation I would understand, but the sitting still and idling issue baffles me.
I’m new again to Humminbird so any of you ‘bird owners out there can clue me in on the things I might not be looking at wrong? Settings? Something simple with ‘ducer I haven’t considered?
Any tips at all would be wonderful! Thanks!
