In one fell swoop "Bingo" surface clutter and interference gone.

Not in shallow water on wide beam or narrow. You can tune it out better on narrow but if it doesnt pick up the small jig you will get clutter when the gains are pushed beyond 38+

I am very aware of the adjustments and features on the birds and have played around with all the settings and fine tunning it. That surface clutter is something that you are not going to be able to get rid of at this point depending on the situation. I have come to a conclusion that this is normal for all the bird units.

My 45 I guess has this too. I assumed it was normal and it doesn't affect my fish at all. I assumed with this ice, air bubbles, and everything else at the top of the water/below the ice, it was pretty unavoidable. I don't ever use my flasher in 5-6ft of water so I guess I haven't noticed it to be a problem yet.

- New boat question
  
  By Crow Hunter · Posted Thursday at 05:45 PM
  
  Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more). With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

  Dang, new content and now answers. First, congrats on the new boat! My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V. 80 might be tops? I’m partial to MinnKota. How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too. All weather or just nice weather? Casting a lot or bait dragging? Bobber or panfish fishing? Spot lock? Networked with depth finders? What brand of depth finders?

  We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor, wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat? Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke Mariner motor) I will appreciate any help with these questions.

  I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage. Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout. Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
