I believe it came new with the boat, 2003. It's perfect for my needs, but I'm having issues with it. It shows the surface at 4'. The deeper you go, only 20 -30', it starts losing the bottom display(I've cranked up the sensitivity/Grayline). It will also lose the depth. Depth dispaly will start flashing. Sometimes the depth will be flashing but it will show the bottom, say 10' just fine. Sometimes it will display 200 -500' depth in 20' of water. The temperature displays fine. I've replaced the transducer and ran the wire away from the boats harnesses so there should be any electrical interference. All this happens even if the boat and all switches are turned off. Could there still be a transducer problem or is the problem with the unit itself? The transducer is also set as level as can be. It's not a spendy unit, but I'd still hate to junk it if something could be fixed. I see Lowrance discontinued this model. They carry a X50/X52. The X52 "looks" identical to the X51.
Thanks for any advice....
