Hi Everyone,
I've had the original Lowrance 3500 Depth Finder in my boat (Its a '97 Powerquest) since I bought the boat in 2002. I don't really think it works anymore. I've tried setting the shallow and deep alarms many, many times, but all it does is seem to flash. I'm sure it needs replacing. Now, where is the transducer for it? My boat is on the trailer, and I don't see it anywhere? Is it hiding under one of the trailer bunk? (I hope not, won't be able to replace it).
I'm really not sure if the display is bad, or the transducer, or both. Honestly, I don't even remember seeing the transducer underneath my hatch. I guess its possible that its directly next to my bilge pump, but I've never even messed with it. All it does it flash, no matter what setting I put it on for shallow/deep water.
Need a recommendation for a low cost unit, just need depth. Nothing fancy. Seems like an easy replacement? I'll attach pics. Sorry for the "red" tint, I took the pics with my red cockpit cover on.
