Hello,
It has been some time since I have posted here. I have for some time had issues getting the boat on plane heavy.

Got it. Thanks
Thanks
for the reply
Sorry about the lack of motor info. It has been a while since I posted here.

Hello and thanks for looking.
As as stated I have a 1999 225 EFI that looses prime at idle only and this happens more often when the ambient temperature is high. Never seems to happen in cooler...
Send in the camera or grab the scuba gear.
Your contrasts look to be very high. Get the picture as dark as you can stand. Also scan something like this and stop the sonar. Then you can make adjustments to that particular image until you find...
algae blooms can produce a cline look-a-like as well.
I would be dropping a buoy on the end branches of the tree on the last shot. No doubt crappie to me. Might drag a bluegill out as well. Slip cork set at 12.5' and watch the cork sink.
I would try routing the wire a different way. Make sure the wire does not travel down the power cables for the TM. Route it instead down the base bracket to the pivot and back if needed. Leaving...
Make your brush piles out of metal with good separation between branches, at a good depth and you will get great images as well.
There is a big difference between the image the OP is showing us...
did you reroute the transducer wire with the new locator install?
Check under "sonar" at installation. Make sure the correct transducer is chosen. If the correct transducer is chosen check the connections. If the connections are good check the transducer for a...
I would pay close attention when you turn the TM. Does the problem occur in the same spot each time?
The other idea I had was a failing/shorting transducer wire. If the wire gets shorted for a...
I have seen weird things happen with sonar when rotating the TM before. Most of the time something is not adjusted properly but other times it seemed it was just the irregularity in the sonar cone of...
In essence yes. There is not all mighty setting for most of these electronics. I run contrast with "AUTO" turned off and the screen as dark as I can handle it. The adjustments made are not linear...
Would be better if you post this on the other lowrance forum.
But since I am here. There are a lot of videos on youtube for the HDS locators for sure. I am unsure about the x135.
I will also...
Do you see the beds in the first shot?
That is a very cool picture.
I mark them every time.
...
Screen shot please
Turn auto contrast off and turn the contrast down try different pallets. Contrast needs adjusted by the user each time it is used and sometimes during the same use.
At that depth change the frequency to 400 and be sure you are traveling directly over the structure. In the screen shot you are looking at down scan only and for a good screen shot you must travel...
Try different pallets,
Turn your contrast down and off auto. Keep the image as dark as possible.
Good images in shallow water will be tough. If you are just wanting good images get a little...
What kind of locator are you running? If it is a HDS or several other models and you only wanting simply 2D sonar then install a PD or PDT. The PDT will give you a temp input as well if you want...
