    Small amounts of interference starting to show up on side scan

    Gen 3 units, LSS-2 Transducer. Last couple of times out I've noticed my console unit I use for structure scan has started picking up a lot of small white lines on side scan. Downscan on the same unit is fine, unchanged. Any ideas?

    Does it look like horizontal rain? I have an LSS1 that has started doing that on one side only. I think it is the transducer going bad.

    Exactly what it looks like. Only on the side imaging piece.

    Both sides? Does it only do it when the outboard is running?
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,

    They do get dirty, might use a wash cloth and see what if that helps.

    Both sides. Console unit is most noticable so yep at idle speeds. Dedicated power to all units and a new battery.

    There are 3 crystals in the transducer, Right Side, Left Side and Downscan. Since I only had rain on the Right side, I figured that Crystal was developing a problem.
    There is one other possibility in my case because my Transducer is attached to an LSS-1 module.
    For the moment, I am just putting up with it.

    My LSS-2 is directly to the head unit.
