Default Humminbird Helix Gen 1 settings for ice fishing

I converted my Helix 7 to be able to use it for ice fishing. Cradle, ice transducer, etc. Been able to use it on one trip and activated ice fishing mode in the settings. Wondering what settings guys are using, mines a 1st generation Helix?

My issue so far is my depth bounces around. Showing true bottom depth then all of a sudden shows 60-80FOW.

What settings do guys recommend to get this thing dialled in.

Thanks in advance.
