VTX1800Shanty

It was back again yesterday while I was mowing the lawn. I have learned this is a Blonde Mallard. It has a condition known as leucism which is quite rare.

I was out doing some yard work and two males with another went by. This is the best photo I could get.

Yep - The boat fired right up and X85 is hooked up to the same battery. I even took a file and cleaned up the connections going to the X85.

I got myself a Sony Visa credit card. Sony then gave me $100 worth of points as a thank you. After spending some time looking on their store HSOforum, I found a Sony Cyber-shot DSCW610 for $98. How could I say no to a free camera. You can find the 100 reviews at 4.3/5 on Amazon and used/refurbished for $60. Perhaps you want to get a Sony Visa and you might get $100 for a free camera too.

My father purchased a boat with an X85 on it. It worked great for a few years but this spring it has a problem. I checked the wires and all connections/pins appear to be good. When I turn it on, the screen does display a line running through the center. When I toggle through the menus it, I can see the display changing/flickering but it looks nothing like it should. I tried a soft reset and a hard reset (see below) but that did not fix the display. I connected a different transducer and got the same display. I am willing to pull out the allen wrench and open up the back, but I don't know what to look for. *Soft Reset - Restart the unit after a freeze (a 'soft' reset) by turning the X85 to "Off". Then press the "exit" key and, while keeping it depressed, press and hold the "pwr" key. When the unit powers on, you may release both buttons. *Hard Reset - Delete all stored data ('hard' reset) by turning the X85 to "off". Press both the "left" and "right" arrow keys, and, while holding both down, press and hold down the "pwr" key. When the unit powers on, you may release all buttons.
