I switched from a B-258 transducer with high speed fairing block to a flush-mount, 12 degree B-164. I now have a lot of interference from the surface down to ~80 at all times (with or without engine running, with or without other electronics turned on). The image taken at depth 196' is with the B-258. The image taken at depth 183' is with the B-164. Is there an update for the 585 or a setting adjustment I can make to resolve this issue?
Also, the screen is bubbling at the edges and the temperature function quit. Is it worth the time and expense to resolve the compatibility and malfunction issues with this unit or would it be more cost effective to upgrade to a new fish finder that is compatible with the B-164?
I fish for bluefin tuna along the US northeast coast in an average depth range of 100'-300'. I am primarily concerned with fish detection and discrimination.
My boat is a 31' Maine lobster-style hull with a single diesel main and a hull draft of 1.5' and a keel draft of 3.5'. The transducer is mounted amidships where the hull draft 1.5' and the keel draft is 3'. It is positioned approximately 4' outboard of the keel center-line.
Thanks
