    Images are a bit hard to see when zoomed but a few things come to mind. 1- probably not the issue but figure out that low 10.2 volts. 2- Looking at the arrays on the screen, it seems that you might not have the ducer mounted right. I would speculate that it’s “aimed” up too far. Point it down a bit and that may get you the pic you want. I run a ps31 and it took a bit of tweaking the angle of the ducer to get things working good. 3- use manual depth to fill that screen. Especially at 25 ft of water.
    If I looked good in spandex and my boats paint had glitter, I’d fish for bass.

    Start all over.

    1. Reset defaults. Menu->Sonar Setup->Installation->Restore Sonar Defaults
    While in the Installation check Install depth and make sure Use AHRS is ON. Might as well calibrate the compass

    2. Set the mounting angle at 45 degrees.
    3. Gain - Auto Medium
    Depth- Manual. Make it more than the current depth
    Forward Range 70
    4. Under Appearance
    Trails OFF
    Bottom Fill ON.
    Grid overlay ON
    Scroll History HIDE
    5. Set Noise Rejection to Medium

    I don't recall if the PS21 software has a TVG setting. If it does, set it LOW or OFF
    Double check the angle of the trolling motor shaft when deployed. Many I see lay back under the bow instead of being plumb.

    Now go near a sloping bank or bridge pier or something like that that is visually obious. You would easily be able to see a difference between pointing at the bank and away from the bank.
    Learn how to do screenshots. You need a memory card. Press and hold HOME to make a screenshot.
    Let us know how it goes and post some screenshots.
    My wife asks if I'm going to fish every day. I can't fish every day. Some days I might be sick.

    Once you get that 21 dialed in you won’t want to fish without it.
