Just moved my 998 to a new boat and now I'm not getting a depth reading. Every thing else is fine, SI, speed, etc, just no depth. I have gone to the settings and tried to reset it but where the depth should be, it's blank. Any ideas??

put your hand over it or your ear to it see if you can fill the clicks or if you can hear them hope this helps if you dont fill the clicks or hear them your transducer is bad
my bad this is for the transducer not the unit sorry
very true cane pole just hopeful of quick fix
Note it may be hard to see if pin is bent, look in socket hole you will see all it takes is to be bent one-half thickness of a hair not to make contact- awhile back some models some had pins were not making contact til bent just a little, About your setting did U check to see which ducer you have selected--should be the hi-def (HD transducer). just a couple thoughts Do U know anybody with a Side image unit would be interesting to pull your boat along side theirs so U could plug U ducer in their unit.............
Thanks for giving me a few more things to try, guys.
Tried again & still not getting depth. Did I mention that the 998 as on the console and a 788 on the bow and they are interlinked. I'm getting depth on the 788. I tried to move the read-out position on the 998, had depth in #2 so moved it to others and it still shows a blank where the depth should be.
