Location: MPLS Metro | Anyone ever run into this or now how to fix:
My Elite 7 hdi was running fantastic and all of a sudden if I got over 20-30ft of water the sonar/downscan screen would pretty much white out with interference and read 2-3ft. Once I got back to 10 or less ft it would start reading normal again ( this was at trolling speed 3-4mph). It has never happend before and am not quit sure what the issue is. Anyone got any ideas?? |

Location: MPLS Metro | Thanks for the info. I did check that and doesnt seem to be the issue. I talked with Lowrance today and explained the issue and what I see on the screen and they feel it is a faulty transducer that is not finding the bottom. They are sending me a new transducer so I will let you kow if that solves the issue. |

| I'm having the same issue with my hdi transducer, they have replaced my head unit and the transducer and still getting the fault! I suspect I may have mounted the transducer too close to the prop so will shift it a but and retest. |
