Weird. I've had 3 birds - 800 series, 900 series, and a Helix 12. I've never had a problem with any of them. I still run the 998 and the Helix.

Do you still have these birds? Are you still fishing this year? If so what are your issues and I may be able to work through them with you.

My helix 7 was a little funky too. Some views were not visible. I still went with a gen 3 helix after that and it’s amazing. Can’t beat the price either for the best side imaging out there. Garmin would be a good option as well if you ever want to use livescope. That’s what I’m saving for.
