Im not familiar with your particular unit but you should be using a low frequency transducer for water over 500'; something like a 50 kHz transducer or a dual frequency transducer like a 50/200kHz for detail with the high freq. but increased depth range on the lower frequency. As far as setting it to 250 ft, you should be able to use the range feature and adjust the maximum to 250'. typically the factory default is automatic so it will caonstantly adjust the range based on the maximum current depth.
Yes... or it is unplugged... or the wire is broken...
Typically you hear a clicking sound at the transducer when it is powered and running but in your case all function is missing from the display and temp and depth is off of the transducer..
I own a 1995 Four Winns and what you need is a Lowrance LSM-1 depth
finder unit. It accepts the two pin lead from the transducer and send
the depth reading to the dashboard display via the 6-pin connector.
There is also a three wire harness (red/blk/wht) that connects to a
power supply.
The reason I know all this is my depth finder
fried a couple years ago so I removed the Lowrance LSM-1 from the boat
in order to find a replacement. Unfortunately, this was an OEM part
that is not available from Four Winns or any aftermarket source.
Probably your best bet is to look in a boat salvage yard or purchase an
aftermarket depth finder.
Assuming you're talking about a Depth Finder or a GPS... if it's depth finder, I had a similar problem on a Humminbird Depth Finder... the issue was holding down the power button too long. If you push it long enough for the system to light up and let go, it should solve the problem. Holding it down longer takes it into Simulation. Hope that helps.
Hi- I have a 1996 Four winns boat with the same problem. I believe we are missing an adapter cable which goes from the depth cable to the instrument panel. I have not been able to locate this cable yet. If I find it I will let you know and can you do the same for me if you locate one?
