fish finder problem
Need some suggestions. I have a lowrance x102c fish finder, it’s been on the boat 2 years worked just great all functions worked as they should just perfect. All of a sudden it is acting erratic.
Depth will not read above slow speed, screen jumps gets distorted... Sender looks okay and adjusted right, wires are all sound any suggestions.

Do you have a dual frequency unit? If so try switching the frequency. I'm not familiar with the Lowrance unit but my Furuno has a cruising and a fishing mode too.

Davey,
Try resetting the factory settings on the unit.I've heard sometimes that may get it going again. Good luck.

Lowrance Fish Finder Problem
How about the transducer itself? I had the unit you are using and had problems after a few years in a totally salt water enviroment. "Junk" and barnacles grow on the flat "reading" surface and all kinds of crazy things start to happen on the screen as signals are blocked (or partially blocked).
I sold the unit with the boat last year and found the trick to be using transducer paint after cleaning the transducer face each spring. This retarded the growth (like bottom paint) and it worked OK. I think Lowrance has some info on their site about cleaning the transducer face safely. As Fridays Off pointed out, I think the idea of factory settings reset is a good one as well. One thing you did not mention was any recent addition of electrical epuipment, etc. that could interfere with the signal. Good luck-John Last edited by Old Barney; 04-13-2008 at 07:40 AM.

Corroded transducer
Hi Davey,
If you have not changed a thing, the problem just cropped up, try resetting as others have suggested. If that doesn't work, check the plug between the wire harness and the display unit. Check for corrosion. If none, than I would suspect the transducer. Remember wires go into the transducer, and although they seem sealed, over time, just a very small amount of salt water will corrode the innerworkings of the transducer. Perhaps someone else has the same unit and you could take your display out and try on another boat. If it works, you eliminate one suspect.
