While fishin in 2-3 fow, my 125 started blinkin 60 fow. I turned it off/on, nothin. I disconnected everything and re-connected, didn't fix it. I screwed with the menu a little, and did something that fixed it, but 10 minutes later, wthout me touching it, it started with 60 fow and blinkin again. I didn't see a factory default click any where. Really confused. Do you think it could be as easy as a transducer issue. The TD doesn't look to be damaged at all.?????
Hep me, Hep me!!!!
What unit is it? I remember they did come out with updated software for that problem on some units. Go to Lowrances website and see if you have the latest software.
My HDS5 doesn't like water 2.5 or less it does the same thing but works fine in deeper water if you find out there is a problem or update let us know.
With both units, reduce the sensitivity and get out of auto depth. Set depth to 10ft. On the HDS, set fishing mode to shallow. menu>menu>sonar>fishing mode. select 'shallow water' and enter. What is happening is you are getting :eek: feed-back. Hope this helps :D:D ya!!! <*)}}}><
Get a Humminbird.
I believe I'll keep my Lowrance and you can keep your Hummer. :DQuote:

The bottom of the cone is way too small an area to be of any use anyway at that depth. Much shallower an my tm is gonna hit the bottom anyway. At 2 ft it goes back to normal.
At 2.5 feet you are only looking at approximately .8 square feet on thes screen. That aint much!
