That's why the discontinued that model :D

but if you look at the last Pic that Minner posted with the lines across it, my entire screen was filled with lines like that. I also was getting eratic depth readings. I was compairing it to the Lowrance a couple times to check it out and it would read 2 foot when the Lowrance had 20 foot deep. MAYYYY have something to do with the transducer. It's wierd cause there's NO WAY it's supposed to just just flop up and down. There's no way to lock it in position and hold it there. It's got a long screw that holds it to the mount and it just flops up and down. I'll do some reading today and check on that and see how to make a few adjustments

Pics please. I want to help, but need pics......then again, 10 am is coming fast, so you might want to take the pics and save them til next Monday when I'm helpful again.

THOUGHT you might stop by the house since you were IN TOWN at TOYS ARE US this weekend

When The Transdocer Is Mounted And The Bolt Put In Place It Will Lock The Transducer In Place. Will Go Get Pic Of Mine In A Few Min And Post It For Ya.

Lookin At The Pics You Will See The Sides Of The Bracket Have A Elongated Indented Spot On It That Holdes The Transducer Down. Make Sure Ya Got The Bracket On Right Side Up!

Yes, it should lock. My initial thoughts on why you're seeing lines:

1) Ducer is tilting up because it's not locked either producing lines from bad angle or due to air getting under it while it's tilted.

2) With the ducer in place and your motor trimmed down, do you have clearance from the back of the ducer to the foot on your motor if you look accross the transom on the trailer? My motor will interfere if I have it tucked, but then again, only one side of the beam gets intereferance....so that's prolly not your problem.

Therefore, I'm going with number 1.

Let's see pics of that install.
