I installed my Helix 9 today. I temporarily installed the transducer. Do any of you Humminbird pros see anything in the images to indicate any interference or anything else to indicate that I need to move the transducer before permanently installing it? I think they look okay, but I have about 30 minutes experience with one of these units, AND I haven't watched the users DVD yet. So blind hog, acorn principle applies here.

Looks good. The sensitivity is too high imo. The whites are too bright to me

Thanks. I couldn't see anything that told me it wasn't right, but I know some of you guys have them and would know more than me. I did adjust the sensitivity. I don't remember how I got to that screen, but I did. Are there any settings you'd suggest changing from factory default?

EDIT: Also, is that rise in the elevation of the bottom (hump starting) on the right in that first picture?

The first pic looks like a hard surface bank or drop to a flat section to me. Idle by a seawall, rip rap, grass point to see the difference. Supposedly the factory settings are what HB recommends that bottom pic must be metal to show that bright, you won't find that much metal so it may not matter. I would turn the so sensitivity down 1 or 2 notches from where you have it currently

Will do. I was not able to find anything online about mounting to a riveted Bass Tracker. Only that the rivets interfered with the image.

I took the spedo sensor off and mounted it above where it was.

Ya'll post up some more images from SI and DI. I have an 1199, just don't have much time to use it and learn it. Post pics with identifying information as to what we're looking at...maybe I'll have enough info stored in my noggin when I do get to turn it on that I'll at least be able to find my a$$ if I use both hands! laugh

If anyone wants to use it, I'll ship you the plate I temporarily mounted my transducer on, so you can temp mount it on your boat. I figure it would just work with flat transom aluminum boats. I used a Vice-C clamp and one self tapping screw to hold it in place.

I'll post some pictures later of how I mounted it.

I'll send it to whoever, if they'll send it to the next person who wants to use it, etc...

Wellcraft Center console. I'm interested where you mounted the transducer in relation to the lower unit. MY 789c has side scan, but the side (port) that points towards the lower unit has much less definition. Starboard side and down scan images are decent. But not as good as your images.

TN, I'll post pics of where my transducer is located. It's a good bit higher than center of the prop.

I apparently ain't a high enough roller to get on bass boat central. I've tried to get a password twice and failed. I've been posting several questions on crappie.com
