Thread: Side Image Help

Hi All,

New to fishing electronics. I just installed a Helix 7 Chirp SI GPS G2N on my 20 foot pontoon boat. I used it for the first time at Blackshear last weekend. I'm seeing a line in the side image on the left side of the boat. I thought I was a problem but most of the SI images in the Helix manual have the same line (in the red oval). Not my picture but exactly what I saw. The water was very dirty with lots of floating debris.

I would like to know what causes this line and if it's a issue with my transducer placement before I adjust. Since I am seeing that same line in the same place in numerous Humminbird SI pics I began to doubt that it was an issue but I still would like some help understanding it.
