Re: Problem with Depth Finder
Is the depth finder factory installed or was it installed later? The transducer can be in a couple of spots. Aftermarket depthfinder or fishfinders can have the transducer mounted on the transom. If it's a factory installed depth finder, the transducer can be a thru hull style. It would be in the bilge. You could see it from underneath as a round flat black disc. Has it ever worked? Was it recently installed? Transducers operate at only 2 frequencies. For example, if you have a factory depth finder, and you install a depth/fish finder, the transducers could be using the same frequencies and would then cause erratic readings. If that isnt the case or it did work at one time with no new instruments installed, you could have a failure.
