Thanks for the suggestion. I am away from my boat working for the weekend. I will take another look when I get home tomorrow.
I replaced the batteries the day before I started the engine and then had this issue. All connections were clean and snug and have been removed and replaced and tightened well. Forgive my...
I do not have a battery switch in the bilge compartment. I have one to add once I get this issue fixed. I just installed new batteries and all the connections are clean and snug. I do have power to...

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten to use my boat in a while. I finally was able to pull it out of the carport and replaced all my batteries. I hooked it to a...
If it has never been done before, the bushings are probably pretty much gone anyway. I did my ‘04 after it was about 15 years old and the bushings had at least one side worn through on most of them....
I believe in Ken’s video it was said that he was running the AGM cranking battery and the 12 volt lithium battery for electronics in parallel. That way the engine’s alternator is charging those 2...
Not necessarily any. The guy that caught 40 pounds last weekend said he only caught 7 fish and by before 9:00 it was over.

According to Ken Smith in his youtube video, he talked to Sharp and all fish were fizzed at the weigh-in and released alive.

Would that be what was causing the very dark images when 1.9 came out? The only cure was to bump up sensitivity.
Oh it’s definitely palette 2. That’s the one I really liked when mine was working properly. Now I have to use palette 3 to be able to see as brightly as it was and I bumped up the sensitivity to 12....
I wish my side imaging images were that good. Mine used to look like that, in that color palette when I first got it, but then I had my left side imaging go out, got a new transducer and updated...
They definitely do have older versions of software available. I asked about going back to my original version but was told that they would not send me anything farther back than the previous version...
It is looking like I had a second dud of a transducer. My first transducer lost the left SI after less than 2 weeks. I have had the problem with very dark images on the second transducer. I had a...

I know how to use mine. I am fine with having to make minor adjustments to improve the image. I’m not OK with having to make major adjustments to even be able to see an image.
Mine is Gen 2 and from most of my readings it has been Gen 2 units having problems especially after updating software. I’m not certain if there has even been a software update for Gen 3 units yet...
I bought a transducer specifically for the trolling motor instead of using the transom transducer that comes with most every unit. The trolling motor transducer came with a choke that is added to...
That’s kind of my whole point. When I first got my Helix, I could just turn it on and use it. It had fantastic images. The images might have been even better if i had made adjustments but no...
I don’t know what version of software mine originally came with and the first time I updated it, it was with 1.84. I updated it after my problems began and hoped it would fix them.
I do understand that but it shouldn’t be that far out of whack. Not everyone that buys these things will understand having to tweak all the settings to be able to use them.
But even prior to the spring, the images were really dark. I know adjusting sensitivity and contrast will brighten it up but why should we have to do that? The color palette used to show exactly as...

That is what it looked like straight from the box when I got it back yesterday. When I first got it, the number 2 color palette looked like it does in the menu.

I had updated to 1.84 I believe it was and was worried about 1.9 from all that I was reading. It came back with 1.9.
