0 JWB475 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Mine started to lose bottom when I was over ~30 feet or when over a soft bottom. I hooked up my 522C to the same transducer and had the same problems.I replaced the transducer and it works fine now. This is the second time I have had to replace the transducer on mine, pretty irritating when they are ~70 bucks a piece... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wallyeye Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 I was kinda thinking that I'll end up having to get a new transducer. I tried adjusting it like it said in the book. The only other thing I haven't tried is wiping it off with something in case there is some oil or something on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PerchJerker Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I agree, it sounds like a bad transducer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 FM_Mike Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I have a 102c. Had the same issues that you are having. Replaced the ducer and so far so good. Look to the online auction sites. The have them all the time. ALOT less than new. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rippin_eyes Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 A ducer will take care of it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wallyeye Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Thanks everyone, sounds like a new ducer is the next step. Should be fun getting the cord from the back of the boat up to the counsel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
