I think the XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T could definitely help in this situation ...

The wider 2d beams would pick up more fish ...

Rickie I got it!!!!!! Changed the transducer to the wide trolling motor version. And no more interference that thing is magic. Went down to the lake to test but no pic. Will be going out in the morning I will have some then. I do need to run it on 200 83 di for the transducer select correct? Thanks again to all that helped and a special thanks to you Rickie. If there is anything I can ever do for you drop me a PM. I now have a 597ci hd di for sale.

Correct ...set the "Transducer Select" menu choice to "DI 200/83" ...

Get us some pix now ...

Just saw your post. Wow; the only problem I have with mine is deciding what views to hide. Never had a problem with my units. In safe water I run the 999 and 859 to search without issue. Did you get it figured out?

Thanks for the reply. After some time I think I have this thing setup correct. We run the same setup I have a 999 at the bow with the 859 on the trolling motor. Did you have any trolling motor interference with your 859? Any tips would be helpful!!!!

Here are some pics Rickie. I am sure some minor adjustments to some settings could be made. But at this point I'm happy if you see something let me know.

Those look great bean ...

The only thing I might add is to set the "Lower Range" to a manual setting just a few feet below the water depth to show less bottom and more water column ...(2d and DI view) ...

This will also effectively "Zoom"'the echo targets in the water column because you will be stretching the echoes down vertically thru the screen thru more pixels ...
