Lowrance gone wacky

My 522 has been working flawless since i powered it for the firs time this spring until last week. It starts to lose depth reading at different depths and i ended up doing a reset and helped for a while but it started again.

I always keep my dedicated battery fully charged and this unit as the latest software on it. So i called this lady Linda at Lowrance Wednesday and before she went any further with this issue she said she would send me a new transducer to try, i have to agree this lady does a great job, i sure hope this solves my problem, I sure love my FF and would have to hate sending it in, also Lawrence must go through lots of transducer.

Any chance your transducer is loose in the holder? Maybe it is pivoting just enough to lose bottom. I know I lose bottom easier if mine isn't just right. Reminds me I need to tighten mine...

she said that she was a very busy lady, maybe for some reason she got you confused with some one else, try again

so what did you end up doing with your issue

Except for the current issue, how do you like the unit? Academy has them for 399 now and I am thinking about getting one.

Soooo is this a unit prone to have problems? I have academy holding one for me until tomorrow night while I try to convince myself I dont really need it. If its not reliable that will help with the convincing part!!
