Location: Corning, Iowa | I've got a 160 blue, mounted on the trolling motor. Every so often it flashes a message that the transducer isn't connected, and sometimes it says the unit is in the simulator mode. I wrote the company, and base price for repair is $89.00.I can't find what a new tranducer cost, but I'm thinking, it might be cheaper to buy another unit. Even if I buy a transducer, I'm not sure that's what it is. Any ideas? Thanks Doug. | |

Location: Chicago, Beverly | Do you have tie wraps holding the wire to the trolling motor? If so its possible one can be too tight and is pinching a cable. I am assuming you already checked the units connection where the transducer plugs in... if the plug has o-rings on it for a tighter fit like my Raytheon unit its possible an o-ring is dry rotted andcould cause the problem. | |
