My rear transducer has always made a clicking noise. Did some googling and they say its normal and a sign of a healthy transducer. They also say that it doesn't bother the fish. Well last weekend at Sardis, my US2 started doing it. Loud too. If I can hear it that friggen loud with it 2 feet under the water, how can they say that a fish doesn't notice it especially if your in 4 foot of water? Thoughts? Anybody else this lucky with your ducers?
The clicking sound you hear is what bounces of objects and gives you a reading. But you should not hear it when ducer is in the water. Have that checked out.
Um, so who do you suggest I get to check them out? Ones built into my terova so should I send them the whole terova. The other is attached to the boat. Wait, the terova is attached to the boat too. Maybe I could just send them my whole boat. Ok. Who do I send it to? Pfffffffffftttttttttttt
Take two Bean-O s and call me in the morning!RoflQuote:

Which one is the loud one? The one on the transom or in trolling motor?
BRM will check it out for a price.... Say like a kiss....:yikes
ES check PM
Call Minn Kota. They can fix most anything over the phone.
Mine started the same thing last weekend but I think it's only bc I was fishing shallow water. Try it in some deeper water and see if it still does it. I haven't been in any deep water given Butla is soooooo low.
I'll bet it's very varying output according to water conditions. That's why loud sometimes and sometimes not. Then again you are not paying me for this advice so I might be lying just for sport.
Wannabe...
I would call minn Kota mine never does In the water but I have a $50 FF so the more expensive stuff that has more power might but I know mine don't even in 3 FOW.
I think they all do that,tried turning df off in shallow water thinking it was spooking fish did notice any diff. Dont think it bothers fish.
Chad......shoot CanePole a PM and see what he has to say.
ES my x135 does it up front but it reads fine
Oh and that's with the us2 ducer
Dang auto type...it's worse than DD about spelling. Change diver to ducer.
I've heard that balls of baitfish make a clicking sound as they move. Maybe it attracts crappie. Try sculling and let us know!!

Yep, that'd make sence, if you had a creek running around on your lake. I'm used to fishing "bowl" shaped oxbows without creek channels in'um.Quote:
