I purchased a Lowrance X-510c fish finder in April 2009 shortly after buying my new boat. I bought it at Cabelas in Rogers,MN. I have never been able to mark fish on it. I have tried everything from using the auto sensitvity to adjusting the sensitivity manually, to adjusting the chart and ping speed, to adjusting the noise rejection and suface clarity. All to not being able to mark fish(fish arches). I can urn the fish ID on and it shows the little fish icon like crazy(if i am in 20 fow, the icon is all over in 9-11 fow, in 40 fow , the icon is all over in 18-22 fow). I have even tried a new transducer. I get a solid bottom depth line, but no fish.
I do not know what I did with the receipt. I know that Lowrance discontinued this paticular unit(X-510c). Also, it was the floor model.
My questions are:
1. What else could I try to resolve this issue?
2. How is Lowrance with customer support?
3. Has anyone else had this problem?
4. Am I wasting my time trying to solve this? Like I said,"I purchased this unit in April 2009", and had spent all of last season (seven months) trying to resolve this problem.
Any suggestions or resolutions would be greatly appreciated.

Dang, new content and now answers.
First, congrats on the new boat!
My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V. 80 might be tops? I’m partial to MinnKota.
How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.
All weather or just nice weather?
Casting a lot or bait dragging?
Bobber or panfish fishing?
Spot lock? Networked with depth finders? What brand of depth finders?
We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha
motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor, wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will
want for this boat? Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke
Mariner motor) I will appreciate any help with these questions.
I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage. Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.
Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
