Location: SW Ohio | I adjust mine to the speed I'm moving. Too fast and you miss stuff. Too slow and everything is drawn out too long. If I'm casting and creeping along, it's on 1 or 2. Seems that each unit has it's own mind when it comes to chart speed. I have a Helix 9 and 10 on the dash, and their speeds don't match (both set to 3 and one moves faster. Yeah, one is 1" bigger but the objects move off the screen faster on one of them).
Keep in mind that you need to be moving forward (in relation to the transducer) to have a clean image. If it is transom mounted and you drift sideways, the image will be garbage. I have one on my TM as well and turn it to the direction of the drift to see clearly. |
