Last 3 times out it does GPS and mapping fine, but go to sonar and nothing. Flashes some wild depth with no bottom. Just wondering if there is some way to check the transducer or if someone close to Somerset has similar hook up that I might be able to figure out the prob. BTW I posted in Sonar section but no help. Just hate to send it back for them to tell me its something simple.
Thanks
This might be obvious, but did you check all of the pins on your sonar cable? Also, sometimes they don't seat really well. After that, maybe someone has a transducer with cable that you could borrow and try out?
Is the transducer a through hull or is it mounted on your trolling motor or the outside of your transom? If its a through hull does it work when your not running? Has it ever worked properly?

Sounds like your transducer went bad, happened to me while down in Alabama. It would read 460' or something like that. Purchased a new one and no problems.
To start with answering. I checked the plugs on the back and even plugged them in 2-3 times to make sure they were together good. My transducer is mounted on the transom. Anyway to tell or check the transducer other then finding someone that has the hookups like mine?
Thanks alot for the answers and questions. More then I got from the sonar pages
I have the same problem. I reset the unit and it worked good for a few hours and then went back to the same problem. Resetting the unit, first you shut it off. Then hold down the down arrow, menu button, and the power on button. When it is powering on, let go of all the buttons. Maybe this will work for you longer than it did for me.
