I have a HB 587 CI HD Combo, just DI...how can I get the clarity on my DI like the pictures referenced above? Does running my transducer off the trolling motor cause interference with the sonar?

Sorry, don't know too much about the 587.....Maybe someone else can chime in who has one. As far as interference goes, that depends on a LOT of variables and can usually be solved if you get it....Though it is sometimes not easy. (This is the same regardless of who's unit you have.)
A lot of people don't get interference.
If you have watched Kosmo's posts, you should see that the HB dedicated DI units are capable of very good DI for a relatively inexpensive unit.

I would like to have an 858DI with the wide DI transducer at the bow. That would be excellent DI and excellent 2D. I haven't been able to find anyone running this combination and would like to see some screen shots if anyone has this setup.

This is a good read for the smaller HB DI units...(the 597 just has a little wider screen)...

Now for the interference on the TM ...everyone's boat setup is different...

The only way to know for sure if your specific setup will have RF...is to mount it and try it...

If you get RF...bring it here and we will do our best to help you track it down...

The manual that HB sent me with my unit, is actually the 597 unit manual. From what I can tell, same unit with same capabilities, just a larger screen. I installed everything per HB, and I cannot get it dialed in right. I will take some screen shots and possibly do some troubleshooting on here. I sure appreciate the feedback though.

Kosmo, you are burning way too much midnight oil........... You need a nap...
