    Question 360 no image

    I have been having trouble with my 360. It deploys and spins, the image is refreshing/spinning but it shows no returns only blue screen.
    It did this before and then started working again. I have not messed with any settings since it was working good.

    Just wondering if anyone has had this problem?

    Had you ran in some rough water when it stopped working properly?

    Some of the oil may have leaked out and the sound pulses don't have contact with the pod housing.

    Wayne,
    Seems like there is an issue with oil leaking on some of the 360 units. Just wondering if these are the new Mega s or the older version. Also, what can be done to prevent it, like not using them in rough water conditions? I have one on order. Thanks

    The 360 has oil in them so the sonar pulses can get from the piezos to the water.
    The MEGA 360 has its piezos in contact with the water just like a regular transducer=no oil needed.
