Hey Bri,

Welcome to the board. It would be great to have you post some fishing reports after your trips...you guys have turned into one of the best walleye catching families around!!

Sounds like your Christmas list should include a new hummingbird unit too.

My problems with the transducers are all related to losing bottom reading. The rear units have crapped out twice in 4 seasons total...the first time it would flash and blink out at over 5 MPH. The second time it happened..and is still happening..it loses at about 7-10 MPH and then reads for a few seconds every couple of minutes at traveling speed.

Have had two bow mounted units do the same thing now. Cannot find any reason they would blink out..most of our casting is done in shallower water (15 feet and less) so should be able to good echo from the bottom in that depth.

Goofy thing is that a new one works perfectly for awhile for me as well..then inexplicably goes haywire. They show little to no damage. I have a skeg guard on the bowmount to keep that transducer off the rocks as well.

That is 4 transducers in 4 seasons with my boat. Very irritating.

Sent you an email with some more details.

Happy Holidays!
