    Default Garmin 93UHD Side-imaging weak on 1 side


    Today my side imaging was really dim when on 1120 kHz, but clear on 455. Is there anything I should check?
    There is no visible damage to transducer and transducer is level or really close to it. Below is a picture of the screen, I thought I took one of 455, but didn’t.

    Is there anything attached to your transom left of the xducer ??

    Lower unit, ladder, trim tab, another xducer ??

    The lower unit is, but it’s been installed for some a couple of years. I even trimmed up all the way to test. I can see that it’s picking up something, just very dim.

    I think it did this the first time I went to the same lake after installing the unit, but has worked flawlessly since and I didn’t adjust anything. That was my first time using SI and I was trimmed down at the time, which made me believe that was the issue (thought about after I left water last time). The next time out it worked and has until today. Curiosity got to me after the first time thinking I was trimmed down to far and have since ram the unit trimmed all the way down, with no interference.

    Sounds like the transducer might be on the fritz. End of year sales will be here soon...

    Hope not, not many hours on it. But, I’m not very confident that it’s not.

    Do you have access to another xducer to test on your head unit ... ??

    Do you have access to a friend with Garmin that you could test your head unit on his xducer ... ??

    Probably the crystal has gone bad. 54's are notorious for that to happen. You could try a reset to see if that happens to fix it, if it's not the transducer.

    Did your transducer get knocked sideways as not being level, this will give these results, or something in your boat changed so it lists more to the right..

    I can’t say it was perfectly level, but definitely not noticeably unlevel or any more than I would have eyeballed it during installation. I did remove from transom to better inspect and reinstall, so hopefully it was unlevel.
