Helix 5 si gps
si worked fine for the first month. Now when I change the range past 50ft the image doesn't expand. The image shrinks, with black bars on each side. Ever heard of this happening?

Man that is what happens with Lowrance units. First I have heard of this happening with humminbird.
Weird...intermittent problem. Worked fine today. Hope it stays that way.
If it happens again .... post a screen shot for us to look at.
Thanks, will do.
Make sure "Max Depth" under the Sonar tab is set to 10ft deeper than any water you should ever be in ...
SI Range is supposed to "over-ride" the Max Depth setting ... but gremlins happen ...
This is from the 1100 series manual ... :

How deep are you fishing with the SI range at 50ft? Is it deeper than 50?
Now, I'm confused. Doesn't SI range mean how far to the side it scans? Not how deep.Quote:
