I have a Lowrance Gen 3 that works really well except in Side Scan mode. I can see structure near the boat but as the image extends out it quickly darkens to the extent that I get about a 10' view then nothing but heavy shade. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
both sides, or just one side?
also, how deep is the water you are fishing and what is your setting for water depth and side scan distance?
455kHz will be brighter than 800kHz ...
Did you try both ... ??

Sideview should be set 2x or 3x water depth per manual and I know these settings work.
Post some screen shots.
Both sides and I usually have it set at 80-100' in 20-30 fow. Water depth usually set at 30'.i have tried both kHz. Weird that I'm the only guy experiencing this. I'll bet it's some simple operator error. Won't be the first time! Thanks.
have you checked to make sure you selected the correct transducer during initial setup? missing that causes a lottt of operator errors :dono
In 20 fow the si range should be set to no more than 60 ft in order to fill the whole screen with readable detail all the way to the edge of the screen
That's good to know Ljones. Thanks. I am thinking this may be a zoom issue . On my way to the lake to investigate this theory a wheel came off my trailer so I never made it there but I should be able to check it out this week.
hey cc I hope you get it figured out...but where did your wheel go? how much damage did you sustain? what caused that to happen? Hope your catchin em!
Hello again Healthnspector! Looked like someone tried to steal my wheel, leaving only 2 lug nuts on. The resulting wobble broke all the lugs and my wheel passed me. Very little damage and I have now figured out my SS issue. Operator error related to the zoom. Still catching good numbers but smaller.
