For the "graininess" of the SI image...open the SI Enhance menu...:

*Try turning the "Contrast" down a click or two...
*And maybe turn the "Sharpness" down or Off...
*Then turn Sensitivity up until the image is to a brightness level that looks good to you..

(I very seldom change Contrast or Sharpness unless I'm looking specifically for fish...higher Contrast and Sharpness will help the fish echoes pop out better...but at the expense of making the image "grainy" lookin)...

(I change SI Sensitivity constantly depending on what bottom composition I'm over...a mud bottom will need a higher sensitivity setting - a hard bottom will need a lower sensitivity setting)...
