Lowrance X-71 isn't doing much

[Hemlock]

I'm on my second Lowrance X-71 graph. First one, the buttons stopped working and Lowrance took care of it by sending me a new head. This one, the temp isn't working , but I'll have them take care of that when it's more convienient for me. My question is...my graph isn't marking much, why? I do not see inverted curve shaped things ever, and it doesn't show much on the bottom ever. I can't get it to pick up my jig, like I've seen other Lowrance depthfinders do. Do I have issues with it, or is this normal? On a side note, I am catching fish, so I know they are down there.

I have 2 of those and the pixels are terrible. It was hard to see fish unless they were stacked up like wood. I never really trusted mine especially when the fish track was "off" and it was running on the arches. I put a LMS 332 on the other day and there is abosulutey no comparison between the two.

Just what I wanted to hear!

I bought the unit last summer.

I am selling mine to my buddy so he can put it on the front of his boat for depth readings. What did you pay for yours last year?

Just got off the phone with them. They think transducer is bad on my unit. They'll send me one, no questions. I asked if the X71 had a bad track record/poor quality, etc..and they of course said, no it was "a good unit". I believe I got mine mail order through Cabelas at $199 What have you paid for them? It was no more than $199, might of been cheaper...can't remember.
