Helix 5 and 9

[tigerinfielder3]

I have a helix 5 DI GPS on the transom
And a Helix 9 DI GPS on the trolling motor, anybody know what settings I should run the 9 on? My 5 in the back has a way sharper image and better pictures than my 9! I figured the 9 would be better and sharper but it's not at all, any suggestions?

I would think they would use the same settings. Of course, it depends on what transducer you are using. If the transducers are the same, then I would expect similar pictures.

Probably tm interference

Interference be my guess as well tiger, you got the shielded TM ducer hooked up on that 9?

Is it fuzzy with the TM off?

No seems the same when it's on or off, they are hooked up to two different batteries

Are you using the US2>>??

A twisted pair of wires from cranking battery to fish finder for power source wires will usually remove interferrance from TM.

No it's a mounted transducer....it's not terrible picture quality but the helix 5 is much more sharp and crips and I can see more detail

Does the 5 do the same thing as the 7 when up front, or is the 7 still fuzzier when hooked to the console wiring? Swap the wiring harness and see if you haven't.
