What are your SI settings... (Pics)
Post of a list of your SI settings with a snap shot from your SI unit. I think this could be real helpful to everybody. Esp those who are new to SI. It took me a little time to get mine set up right and there still might be room for improvement.
898c SI
Beam - 200/83 khz
Side View Frequency - 800 khz
Surface Clutter - 5 (this is default)
Switchfire - Clear
Fish ID - Off
Fish ID Sensitivity - 5
RTS window - Narrow
83 khz Sensitivity - 0
Noise Filter - Low
Transducer Selection - Hi Def SI
DI Beam Width - Medium
SI Sensitivity - 9
SI Enhance - Sensitivity 9, Contrast 10, Sharpness Low
Range - Usually 40 - 60 feet since i mainly fish less than 20 foot of water and I like more detail
Chart Speed - Set same as MPH or little less (THIS IS CRITICAL FOR IMAGE QUALITY)
SI Color - Amber 1 or Blue usually

Wilbur,
I thought those fish in the second pic were bass at first. I went back to that area with a Red Eye Shad, pig/jig, and spoon... As I was casting gar were rolling everywhere on the surface just in that area. I never got a bite so I wrote them off as gar.

Just interference or surface clutter as far as I can tell. Hasn't been a problem but could probably clear it up with a different mounting location for the transducer. I have mine mounted on the bottom of my jackplate.

If there have been no changes to your boat, those fuzzy looking lines could be air bubbles flowing off that side of your boat hull. Try shutting the main motor down and see if those lines go away or not. If they do than its air bubbles flowing off the boat hull. If they don’t than its something blocking a part of the Si sonar to that side.
