Contact supplier for support and possibly replacement for a faulty unit.

No, you need the correct transducer.

Make sure the transducer is pointing directly down when the boat is in the water. Also, this may help

Need to contact the manufacturer for support on this. It may not be fixable.

Probably time for a new one. Harsh conditions like on a boat causes the electronics to fail after awhile

You need to contact the maker of the product for this question

Check the Positive and negitive terminals It may not be seeing the voltage it needs , I have a strike 7 and it did a similar thing , as soon as the load from the transducer is on it wont load ,, Mine was the dirty Neg cable to the bus bar under the dash

To many possibilities. Low voltage, problem with hydraulic pump, no voltage on hydraulic pump, broken wire, heading sensor etc

Hi. Go to sonar menu, last item is stop sonar press this and all should be good. Cheers

Yes, I prefer to use transtricers, three is the charm.

Press Waypoint Waypoint, you should only use MOB as a temporary mark.
