transducer head-ache...... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

D town...
I have a 535 that has a bad transducer.
The readings of the bottom I get are a lot like a bar graph, and the depth is totally off.

If this is anything like what you've seen, it is likely you've got a bad 'ducer.
I don't know why mine decided to go bad, it functioned for years for another user and for a few trips for me, maybe they just 'go bad'?

I'm told H-bird has a good customer repair policy. I tried, and I'll just say... good luck with that.

Sorry for the downer message, but I know your pain.
Garmin for me next time.

For what it's worth,

Willy
