Thread: new 998 unit problem

Thank you to all who has given trouble shooting issues to check. I have removed the 2nd transducer all together even the mounting bracket. I have tested the transducer on a piece of 1" x 1" x 3' long. I placed it in several different areas side to side, deeper range and shallower , I ever put the transducer along side the boat and it still showed the line. I also tried it with the motor shut down and the boat not moving at all so I was sure there would be no turbulence, same thing. I took a separate battery and ran the power cable to it all by it self and still had the line. I'm out of ideas and have tried all and anything suggested with no luck. I am now waiting for Humminbird to get back to me, they say they have sent the pictures and problem to their engineering dept. I'm sure I wont hear anything until after the holidays. Yesterday I took my boat to Green tops sporting goods where I bought the unit. The electronics guy told me that there was nothing wrong with the unit as he showed me 3 Humminbirds on display whit the same line while they ran on demo. I don't know what to believe at this point. Again thanks to all and if anyone has any further ideas please let me know.
