Depth Sounder- no display

[beej77r]

So recently got back on the water, everything is working great but my depth sounder. I have no display to it, so i am assuming that there is no power getting to it? Has anybody have had simimilar issues?
It worked fine last year... I did a search on here for similar issues, not seeing anything like mine yet.
Thanks!

Does it have this in the display --- or nothing at all?

[beej77r]

nothing at all... I read if it was the --- then re-epoxy the transducer. not getting anything at all...

I have a spare one if you determine gauge is bad I would send your way if you could cover shipping. I thought mine was bad and had the factory send me another one and come to find out it was a wiring issue.

mine doesnt work as well. i think who ever owned it before me pulled everything but the gauge and power wires..i have to see whats missing and find it online.

[rbeckner27]

The wires on the back of these units are very very fine, I mean like fishing line thin. It is very possible that at some point in time it was bumped. Look up underneath the console and make sure the 3 wires I believe are all connected is where I would suggest starting.

Ya mine is jacked as well. It turns on and beeps but then doesn't read and beeps at me no matter if I'm on the trailer or 50ft of water. That might be my next little project.

Think I will need to try to pull the gauge just to double check everything. something must have gotten bumped or pulled.
It worked great in Oct. of last year!

where is yalls depth sensor at? i want to see if i still even have one

[rbeckner27]

I mounted my transducer just behind the gas tank next to the speedometer paddle wheel in my mojo and my gauge is on the right pod of my dash

[motosno963]

ill have to go under and look for mine. i think mine is gone. anyone know of any sites where i could buy parts? i bet i can go to the dealer and get them but sometimes they are more then online

[beej77r]

Does anyone know where the transducer is generally mounted on these boats? I think I need to remount mine.
My gauge came on for the first time this past weekend, but it was acting all haywire... so something isn't right for sure.
From what others have said, the --- means that the transducer is not on correctly or will need to be reglued.

Pics of the location on the hull would be great. Over the winter had the shop look at mine as it was all screwy. Ended up replacing the whole thing, new one works great, only issue is I don't have water temp, anyone using a combo unit or one for depth one for temp? Thoughts?

[beej77r]

I have water temp on my perfect pass. but don't have it on depth gauge.

im thinking about getting this..

So just a quick update, my transducer is mounted by the V-drive. did some investigating yesterday, and the transducer had come unglued from the hull. cleaned the spot with some compressed air, sanded it a bit, and wiped down with some accetone. applied some epoxy and put it in place. So hopefully next time i get out, the damn thing will work.
