    try standing/staying on the right side of the boat or the left, may be a weight issue in the boat (lean) if it clears up sometimes.
    GO BIG ORANGE !

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    I tried leaning over, That did not help. I don't have anyone else around that has an SI that I know of to switch heads with. There is nothing blocking intermittent. Looks like I may have a problem here.CF

    CF... Have you tried putting the SI image to "left side only" when this happens...

    I'm not sure what this would actually tell us... But it might be info that could help us determine what might be going on here...

    Also try wiggling the xducer connector at the head unit..

    Maybe there is a connection issue at the connector pin that goes to the left SI element crystal in the xducer..

    Those horizontal lines on the left side of the amber image (that almost look like RF interference) seem like they may be an intermitant ping ....

    Went out yesterday to try out the 798 since I updated it and seemed to work fine. Now for more info on what is going on with the left side. Seemed to work fine on the left side but that side was a smidge darker than the right most of the time as long as I was in deeper water in like 15 feet. If I went up into like 6 or 7 feet of water, the side would start doing like the pics at the beginning of this thread are showing. Can't figure this one out.CF

    Oh Yeah, I also ran the left side closer to the bank as to eliminate the drop off issue. was in 7 feet of water, 60 feet from the bank but could only see the 40 feet at best. Don't understand.CF
