As long as I have 99 - 100%, the state is useless information.

Go fishing !!

I'd just go fishing.

What unit?

Put a Stern Saver on the transom and screw a skimmer to it.

You're done.

I can read bottom clearly at 50 plus MPH, and good enough at 60. ZX200. 200 SHO. Took some experimentation to get...

Skeeter mess? Humminbird mess? User mess?

Other than the shoot through, it's plug and play.

I hear of some problems with the 5 - port. I have had none.

Leave it there.

Install a skimmer on the transom.

If you really want it out, use a Dremel, if you have room, to slit the old epoxy, then a 2 x 4. PITA.

If you insist on a shoot through,...

OK. Now I understand. Something we've never had before, but a necessity now. lol.

I've got Ionics and the app, so nothing any, even imagined, use to me.

I check mine once in a while for...

Simple answer: Yes, it will work if you connect it correctly. It's 12v DC, pretty dumb power.

Would I do it that way? Probably not unless I had the wire and didn't want to buy 6 ga.

I'm not being critical. Hope I don't sound so.

What in the heck are you trying to accomplish?

I've wired a lot of boats in the last 50 or so years. Currently running a 4 Lithium system that I...

Glue a Stern Saver to the transom and screw a skimmer to it.

Shoot through transducers are a problem asking for a place to happen.

I really don't understand all these problems with the HB...

Only a suggestion to help the OP discover his problem. I agree with your wiring analysis if the Y cable is installed. Worth checking out.

He is obviously getting a 2D signal from somewhere off...

Air under the transducer. In your case, hull.

I would check out the Y cable to make sure it's together good. Those connections can be extremely stiff. If it's not together good, the unit could...

Make sure that you power EVERYTHING down and start again.

Reboot solves a lot of problems.

EVERYTHING, even you have to disconnect from the battery.

I'd set my max water depth to about twice the max water depth you expect to encounter. Helps sometimes.

I keep mine at 80.

Now you know why I don't like, and don't use, shoot through...

I can't get hummingbirds to sit still long enough hook anything to one of the little devils.

Might try some Humminbird electronics.

Sorry. Couldn't resist it.

Dots don't mean anything other than a reference for you in adjusting. The motor could be mounted anywhere on the JP, or the JP anywhere on the transom.

Raise it a 1/4 or a 1/2 and try it out. ...

It really ain't necessary, but if they both are the same age, battery no. 2 is probably on its last legs also.

I ran a 2002 just like that until 2020. Never any problems. Best I ever got, flogging the snot out of it, was 68 GPS. Ran low-mid 60's consistently heavy loaded. I assume you have the 3 liter...

If the dealer is convenient and can get on it, let him solve it.

My bet is battery or wiring or connection.

Are you coming to Lake of the Ozarks, or just Ozarks in general?

Big boat traffic is starting to pick up, and LOZ is a hell hole when it does.

Pomme de Terre, Stockton, Truman, Bull Shoals are...

Yep. Red for movement bait rods. Black for drop type rods. Yellow for my 8' rods. Either flipping sticks or long crank bait rods. Once they hit the deck of the boat, I know what rod is what.

I saw that boat. I kinda like those gray and yaller boats. Of course those are Bass Cat colors.

Skeeters are red, black and white.

Now you got to trade trucks. You can't tow that boat with...

Two choices:

Either use the Velcro lure wraps, or take off your lures.

I do neither. I just take off my treble hook baits. The rest I leave on.

Good incentive to re-tie.

IMHO. If you have bought and installed FFS and it isn't helping you catch fish, you either aren't using it, or haven't spent the effort to learn to use it.

I ain't no "scoper". Doubt I ever...
