Hey guys and gals,
I've got a Tracker Wide Eye (Hummingbird) LCR that just went on the fritz (it's always something). Was working fine, then lost the depth number and bottom. Everything else still shows on the screen as usual, even the zero line at the top still crawls by, but no # or bottom. I checked the depth range, zoom, and all other entries and they were where they should be. I checked the transducer and it was still firmly attached and the cable looked ok. Connections looked ok.
Do I have a bad transducer?
How can I check to see if the depthfinder itself isn't bad without sending it to the factory?
Same for the transducer?
Does anyone know an internet address for Hummingbird or a phone # for tech questions?
This unit had to be sent back a few months after I bought it with the boat new in 1994 and I don't want to put any more money into a piece of crap again. I'd rather buy a different brand that's going to work if I'm going to have to put much money into fixing this one.
Any advice would be appreciated!!
Thanks
TOM
