I experienced something funny this week. I was by myself on KY Lake pushing and pulling cranks. All of a sudden my Helix10 showed my boat and the course arrow pointing 90 degrees off my actual direction line. This was driving me nuts trying to figure out how to get from waypoint to waypoint. I finally decided something had changed to cause this because it hadn't done it at the beginning of the trip. I then realized what it was:. my da ducer apparatus with the puck antenna on top of it was under one of my HiTek rod holders. I had placed a pair of needle nosed pliers in the place I normally have crappie nibbles jars. Those pliers were within an inch of the puck. When I removed the pliers, instantly the reading went back to perfectly normal.

Some times we make things way too complicated.
