    Default lowrance 510 question


    heres my problem: sometimes while running the graph it will be reading the depths correctly then it will go to 2ft and stay for a while then come back to normal. tried different tranducers both do it and my 332igps will do the same.. muddy bottom lake if it matters. any suggestions???

    Does it do it only at or near WOT? If so the transducer may be too close to engine or getting bubbles passing under it...Common problem...Just adjust hieght or move it away from motor

    Maybe interference from motor running or TM or a big school of shad?

    Check your power conection and battery state of charge.

    I had the X510c and it would constantly lock up and freeze in shallow weedy water.

    I changed out the transducer sent it in to Lowrance twice for software changes nothing worked.

    Several Lowrance models have shallow water issues do to their operating software.

    I replaced mine with a Vexilar EdgeII couldn`t be happier.

    My first graph was the Lowrance x75 that gave me 8 years of flawless operation.
    I sold it to upgrade to color big mistake.

    I`m now back to monochrome but a working graph.

    problem solved talked with a lowrance rep today and was informed that if you run in manual mode it will do this.. lowrances problem with no solution. it will not do this running in automatic mode.. if anyone has a question about lowrance call portronics in greenville sc and ask for ray.. he's jam up on them...

    Default You're one of the lucky one's to get Lowrance to help

    Sent mine in over 6 weeks ago and they keep telling me to wait and one was coming in so they could send it to me. HUMM,coming in from where. Lowrance service is a major Joke
