Then make sure nothing in back is wrap around the transducer in the back. ie. battery cables.

Good Stuff,Yes there is a new updated version of the original 4.0 software.From what Lowrance is telling me is that some unit's had problem's with the original 4.0 but some did not.The one I have downloaded now is 4.0.36.59

I will check....but why would it have worked so good before the new software download? I didn't move my battery cables or transducer wires

On your unit, you can go to the system tab, highlight about,then enter, should display your firmware revision number.

Thank you.

My unit says I have software # 4.0.36.56. So I assume I have the old software...right?
