Oh yeah....I guess I should have mentioned that...

It's flashing 0... sometimes it will flash an extrememly high depth
like 300ft. THis happens underway or anchored.

Anyone know how to test if the transducer is bad? I've cleaned it

and
it is pointing the right way. The cable appears ok (where I can

see
it). Can I check it with a simple ohmmeter??

Thanks


It does sound like a bad transducer. Only way I know to check (ohm
meter won't work) is to get your hands on a new transducer and try it.
Can you buy a transducer with ok to return it? It will work in air, so
you don't have to get it wet.

Thanks! I'll try it this weekend....
