Anybody know if transducers go bad or get weak? I have a puck style mounted to the bottom of my trolling motor and it didn't seem to work right from new, but for the opener the X65 it's connected to wouldn't mark anything but the bottom while the X85 that I have on the transom marked everything as usual.
I finally just switched the units around to find that the same thing occurred with the X85 when it was on the bow and the X65 worked great on the console so I know it's not the locator. After a while it wouldn't even give me depth and just flashed 59.9 ft.
Any ideas? It seems to "tick" when I feel and listen to the xducer out of the water.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
