Lately my 1734c vx2 has been showing my bearing to be off as much as 90 degrees and after every sweep seems to get better maybe as little as 5 degrees and after running for 20 or 30 minutes it will be dead on except for my last trip bearing line stayed about 5 degrees off I also noticed it seems to be more off in rough water the targets are still nice and clear just shows the boat going in wrong direction any idea what's wrong?
1734C Bearing is not right

Hi Fish
Yes the heading line but it shows it straight up but targets are way off not all the time it seems like it starts reading correctly 20 or 30 minutes after transmitting for instance I was going thru a canal and marking the sides of canal dead ahead and off my stern my chartplotter showed that I was running parallel to bank as I should kind of startling at 3am and still on my first cup of coffee lol

Before you do too much; you might want to read this previous post. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3443&hilit=heading+align#p12602
Almost any issue for Vx2 has been discussed many times on this forum and with a bit a searching you will find a lot of good information.

Thanks Johnny
I read a bunch of posts on this unit but nothing described what I am experiencing with unit I think fish tech is on to something I did notice that when it's flat Seas it works perfectly but if it's rough water or I take a wave then targets are all over the place so now my boat is out of water for winter I'll get into it at some point and see what's going on with it
