2 year old boat with a Faria depth finder that has stopped working. The
unit is getting power, but reads out at zero constantly. When I unplug
the transducer it still reads the same. I dont think the wire going from
the gauge to the transducer is bad. The transducer is mounted in the
bilgle below the engine. Any ideas?

This is a tough one. In my experience, it's usually the transducer -
the crystal either fractures or breaks causing false/flaky readings or
in one case on a Garmin, nothing which is similar to your situation.

The only real way to test it is to beg, borrow or buy a new transducer
and try that first. If that doesn't solve the problem, then it's the
finder it'self.

Perhaps the dealer who sold you the device can help you with a borrow
a transducer situation.
