Trophy King
I was driving with the outboard. It did not go away when I slowed down. If it's the boat creating it, what are my options?

Remove the xducer and stick it way down in the water ...
If it goes away - there is something on the left side creating that (it really looks like aerated water instead of a hard return like a ladder or floatation pod - (and your OP pix show no obstruction on the left side) ...

Maybe the transducer is bad

would the speedometer thing on the left side of the boat be causing this? although it's folded up above the transom, could it still be causing this interference?

Anything to the side "can" block the SI Beam ...Originally Posted by nccater
Remove the xducer and stick it way down in the water to verify if the issue is the HB...or the boat ...

Mine would do the same at about the speed in your pic, if I scanned at 4.5-6 mph it went away.
Increase your speed more and see if that helps.

In closer review of the pics you posted, hopefully the tape or packing "skin" that is stuck to the bottom of the ducer has been removed. It is on the left side. Just an observation.
'Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
The blind see and the lame walk; lepers are cleansed and deaf hear; dead are raised up and poor have the gospel preached to them.
And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me... Matthew 11:4-6

how about prop wash?? Anybody motor through including you??
Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and one that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.
If you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can generally count on Paul's vote.

I just recently installed a helix 7si in my boat. I read on a forum that the ribs in the bottom could cause interference and u may have move it left or right to fix it some. In your picture it seemed a little closer to one rib and not center. Idk if that would cause it but it's a thought. Glad to see this post it may help me with any problems I have with mine since I have yet to put it in the water.

Looks like turbulence off the bottom of the boat. Some people live with it or run another ducer on the other side. A splitter cable merging the two together makes it go away
