Somethings not right. I run active target 2 so my settings are different but i would do a hard reset

I'm usually at about 65ish.. last Sunday it went into perspective mode even though it was set to ffs.. I been reading it says to try adjusting the focus but I haven't ever messed with that.. after seeing the line today I didn't really mess with it and fished. I did reset to default but that didn't take the streak across the screen off.
thats a double echo from high gain for depth. you can follow these steps/call garmin. they have excellent customer support.

Livescope has great resolution but man they seem much more complex that active target
I tend to agree with WTM that you're getting a double echo, but I've never had that issue when running gain at 77%. I don't do it often - but have certainly tried it when crappie fishing.
Do you know how deep the water really was? I'm guessing it was 28ft, not 13.5?
Trying dropping the Gain to mid 60's and see if that helps. If you're trying to pick up your lure, try increasing the Color Gain. Note, Color Gain is not the same as Gain.
Also, try increasing your Noise Rejection.

Agree with wtm and tnreb,do you have wire ties on your transducer cable.If you do take them off and use black tape or velcro ties.We have saw some weird things happen when using wire ties to tight at the shop.Garmin usually won't warranty a bad transducer if it has wire tie marks from getting them to tight.
Is your transducer positioned correctly? Is it possibly seeing the trolling motor foot? Seems like I kicked mine too far back one time and it went into perspective mode.
adjust your depth range too.

How do you like that pole mount for the terrova?

It's been good... they upped the price since I bought it so probably would've went with the cornfield
crappie mount. Had I known better I would've just went with a cable steer in first place though...

So I've contacted Garmin and they don't have any regular lvs 32 transducer in stock but are gonna replace mine with a ice fishing version once I ship in the defective transducer... thanks guys
That sounds fishy. I thought the ice fishing bundle also used the LVS 32 (or 34). What else are they sending you? I'd be awfully skeptical. If it's under warranty I'd demand an equivalent or better.

Supposedly just the lvs 32 transducer but the ice fishing version... they said it was pretty much the same but more insulation in the transducer cord??? I did ask him if the cable was bigger than but he said no... they wanted a 600 deposit to ship it immediately and then reimburse once they received mine but I declined in case they denied the warranty..
its a single silicone gel cable. more flexible to wrap around an ice fishing spool. id protect it with a sleeve.

Didn't they make the single cable to replace the double??? Mine now is the single so I don't see the difference between lvs32 and lvs32if... cable shorter possibly???
