No more testing was needed. Someone from BBC put me in touch with a supervisor at Garmin, we talked things over and I sent him a few more screen shots. Problem Solved !
A new head unit is on it's way. Garmin even offered to overnight it! A faulty sounder inside the head seems to be the diagnosis. Thank you to everyone for the advice and help!
Thanks for the advice Cannonx4. I don't want to get too nasty yet, but is I can't get things resolved by the end of the months I might try getting a little more vocal. Thanks !
Thanks for the advice, The extra ducer I had to send back before they'd ship me a replacement but I like your idea of mounting it on a stick and extending it away from the boat and or remove the...
I've called at 8:00 and even 7:00 ( time zone ) and the wait has always been over two hours. I have had good luck using the call back service though, they have always called me back and always within...
Hello ! Back in January of 2018 I purchased a 93sv Plus with a GT 52. The first few trips out it worked great, I could find bottom on a plane , while trolling , anchored etc. Then on a trip in...
Thanks for the reply ifishinx5, I hope you are right!
A year ago I purchased a 93sv plus and it worked flawlessly for the first few fishing trips but then it started to loose the bottom reading. I'd be trolling along and poof my depth would just...
Thanks for the tip Casslaw! I called and put myself in line. 2 1/2 hours later I received a call. Garmin's only real advice was to try increasing the gain. Other than the gain the gentleman on the...
I have a 93 sv plus with a gt 52 ducer and this past week while fishing the unit would constantly loose bottom. I'd be trolling along fine and then the depth would flash for a few seconds and the...
Yes, the kicker motor was running the whole time and at the same RPM. Over the span of the weekend I trolled about 20 hours and this only happened once for about a hour off and on. I can live with...
Garmin shipped me one a few weeks ago, no charge!
I keep mine on as well and it works great! A couple things to note though that I have experienced. On certain lakes that I fish there are LARGE schools of Kokanee. Often times when I pass over these...
Attached are a couple screen shots I took this weekend from my 93svplus. In the first two shots I can see the bottom and I can see my down rigger ball at 30' and then nothing. This went on for about...
I bought a generic Red Shield cut to fit screen protector from Amazon for $6.00 and it works well on the 93sv. There are a few minor bubbles, but that is my fault I didn't use a prep solution, I...
After receiving advice from this board I went ahead and purchased a 93sv plus a while back and after a few fishing trips I must say I'm impressed! So impressed that I think i may go ahead and pull...
Thanks for all the help and advice from everyone , especially LWINCHESTER & Fishin Couillon ! A new 93sv plus has been ordered.
Thanks for the other attachment LWINCHESTER2 , that is what I imagine happens too, but even in that scenario I would hope i would see my DR balls. My 12lber's I'll see most of the time, my 10...
That's my point, In the past 10 years I've had 3 different units on my boat, first a lowrance, next a bird 365i and currently a helix 5 and I've never been able to see my weight much less a jig....
Howdy all, this is my first post and I'm in need of some advice. I'm in the market for a new unit and really like the looks of the 93sv plus, but after reading a few things on here I'm hesitant to...
