    SOLIX 12 left side image dark

    I have the solix 12 SI and while scanning the left side of the image is dark in the shallow water side. The right side is working good. I might add at one point looking at the screen it started working properly I don't understand how this could be. Any ideas on what might be causing this problem?

    If your transducer is on the right side of the motor(starboard side) you might try trimming out your motor some and see if that helps. Bob

    This is what I have to do if I want really bright SI on the left side.
