    Default HDS 10 Terrible Picture


    I have an HDS 10 Gen 1 that will not have a clear picture if I am traveling over about 6 MPH this is what the screen looks like . This just started about 3 fishing trips ago. I have reset the Sonar to default but this didn't clear it up. Any Ideas?

    In shallow of water, I would try your sensitivity setting at - numbers. You can go to -3 or -4 to help clean up the clutter.

    What are your noise reduction settings ?

    Is your surface clarity filter on ?

    Here is a video produced by Jason Gilstrap one of the Lowrance Pro Staffers. I hope this helps !

    Your xducers look like they're in a good enough spot for clean bubble free water ...

    Can you test someone else's head unit on your boat...??
    Or test your head unit on someone else's boat ...??

    This should verify if it's your head unit or your xducer(s)...

    If your settings are good you can try a soft reset.
