any thoughts on what's causing it and how to get rid of it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

It looks like a pixel driver died. Could be the screen or the circuit board.

I don't think you can fix it yourself unless you are experienced in things like this. Even then Lowrance has the knowledge.

It's annoying, but you can use it until it dies completely while you save up for a new unit.

That's kind of what I was afraid of. Probably just use it til it dies. It's the second unit on the front deck so I can use for the maps. It doesnt appear as annoying when on the maps screen. Thanks for the reply.
