I have an old Lawrance LMS 350-- She was the big dog once - on my boat. I just lost my Depth display or should I say readout - I still have the digital tool box Temp, Speed and depth(it shows depth very inconsistantly) and the GPS portion that work but the locator is not pushing out a strong enough signal to the transducer or the transducer is bad.
Has this ever happend to anyone? I am not putting a penny into it. If someone thinks the transducer is bad I can track one down for nothing.
It is time to get a new locator but I don't have the dough at the moment- I just bought a new rod and the daughter is off to college this fall.
I was lost on the water without having my digital read out. I can however move my FL 8 off the bow when trolling and move it back up front when casting spots.

Suggestions--- I would be very leary of any used electronics- So new is the only other option at a later date.

thanks

Steve

Try doing a full system re set on it .I dont remember how thats done ,might have to call lowrance tech . I had 2 on my last boat and they both went south . The first one that puked was sent in and for about 90 bucks they send you a new one . When the 2nd one died GAME OVER time to upgrade they werent doing the swap anymore.
Hope it works out for you

Thanks for the help. I have been looking at the Lawrance HD7.

Anybody have any comments?
