I have a new one on the front deck of my boat. Can not get it to work right. It will read correct for a few minutes then will lose bottom and go to reading 60 or 70 ft then back to the correct depth. I think the ducer is bad from the factory. I have reset it to factory defaults and I have backed off on the sesitivity. Any ideas?
Really sounds like what it is unless it's not getting a great connection and with the loose wires, when you bump it, it looses connection. Mine's doing that
Dielectric grease on the points of the connectors Torch. Don't know for sure, but it might slap right on the front of Sat's boat for a test. Doesn't he have a 565 up there?

Yeah he does and I have not thought of that, just got off phone with HB and they are sending a new ducer will try that. HB said the self test checks out so it must be in the ducer.
New ducer AND dielectric grease should fix you right up.
Dielectric grease you speak of? Does that help the connection?
Yes, you can buy it at napa. Its actually die electric silicone. I talked to bigger and I think I will mount transducer away from trolling motor
As I recall it's the same stuff WB told you to put on your cranking and trolling batteries. You either ain't payin attention or just ignoring the great WB's informative post. This is also the third time in about three weeks this has came up. I believe that kung foo done started workin on yo dough between your ears.Quote:

Any auto parts store will carry it, although some sell it as spark plug grease. It also ain't half bad on a ham and swiss. Buy it, use it, live it.

DD the silicone works wonders on connections.. We use it all the time at work..Torch I hope you find a solution to your problem.. My brand new 998si power cord connector keeps coming unplugged and is very loose any ideas on a solution??
Blue, if my suggestion in the 1st pic thread doesn't work try making the hole that the connector plugs into smaller by wrapping a very short piece of electric tape around the plug. Use additional tape to keep tightening it up until snug. Let my know if this helps, DonDon might want to try this too.
Are you using the cable collector supplied with the unit as shown on page 10 of the owner's manual?Quote:

Hey Bigblue take a couple of close up pictures of that connector unplugged. This is likely assembled incorrectly.
Well, I had rigged up a rubber hose and bracket to put the transducer in to see if interference is my problem. Humminbird sent a new ducer that is made for the trolling motor. I will get it mounted and try this one out.
570 humminbird bracket. The hollow design is flawed. Fill the mounting bracket with epoxy before mounting. I think in the future the mounting brackets will be reinforced, lots of complaints on the new brackets.
