Possible causes
Possible solutions
Damaged connectors/cabling
1.
Check that the transducer connector pins on the back of
the display are not bent or broken.
2. Check that the transducer cable connector is correctly
orientated and fully inserted into the display connector
and locked in position.
3.
Check the condition of the transducer cabling and
connectors for signs of damage or corrosion, and replace
if necessary.
Vessel speed too high
Slow vessel speed and recheck.
Bottom too shallow or too deep
The bottom depth may be outside of the transducers depth
range, move vessel to shallower or deeper waters as relevant
and recheck.
Transducer minimum and maximum depths can be found in
the technical specification for your transducer.
Poor / problematic image
Possible causes
Possible solutions
Vessel stationary
Fish arches are not displayed if the vessel is stationary; fish
will appear on the display as straight lines.
Cursor mode is active
The scrolling screen is paused in Cursor mode, press the
Back
button to resume scrolling.
Sensitivity settings may be
inappropriate for present
conditions.
Check and adjust sensitivity settings or perform a Sonar reset.
Damaged connectors/cabling
1.
Check that the transducer connector pins on the back of
the display are not bent or broken.
2. Check that the transducer cable connector is correctly
orientated and fully inserted into the display connector
and locked in position.
3.
Check the condition of the transducer cabling and
connectors for signs of damage or corrosion, and replace
if necessary.
Transducer location
• Check that the transducer has been installed in accordance
with the instructions that were provided with the transducer.
• If a transom mount transducer is mounted too high on
the transom it may be lifting out of the water, check that
the transducer face is fully submerged when planing and
turning.
Transducer kicked-up
If the transducer has a kick-up mechanism, check that it has
not kicked up due to hitting an object.
Transducer damaged or fouled
Check the condition of the transducer ensuring it is not
damaged and is free from debris/fouling, clean or replace as
necessary.
Turbulence around the transducer
at higher speeds may affect
transducer performance
Slow vessel speed and recheck.
Interference from another
transducer
1.
Turn off the transducer causing the interference.
2. Reposition the transducers so they are farther apart.
