Had the boat out and graph flashed 60 ft all day. Did a dry run in driveway and it read 2 ft but no sound from transducer on the terrova. Has anyone had a transducer go out on a terrova?

I had similar issues with a Terrova I used to have. I never did figure out a solution.

What depthfinder do you have hooked to it?

Here are a few things I have had to do on my Lowrances to get the Terrova to work...
I had to select the correct transducer on my LCX-112 and HDS unit.
My depth reading will cut out when the prop spins.
Adjust the sensitivity up and down to see if it will "find bottom". On Vermillion or shield lakes my sensitivity needs to be low due to the strong return signal, while weedy/muddy/soft bottom lakes I can turn it way up.

It is hooked up to a LCX27 c. I have been using this same set up for several years no problem This year no depth readings. I'm going to try and find the transducer that came with the unit and see If I can get it to work with that if not I guess I'll figure the locator is bad.

I've got a Humminbird hooked up to a Terrova and this spring my locator would lose depth when I turned the trolling motor on, it was a fuse in the head of the trolling motor.
