Humminbird Transducer clicking HELP? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

roadx · 09-26-2010, 06:53 PM

my lowrance mark 5 pro also clicks, but seems to click more loudly when using 83MHZ and when i first fire it up.
i believe this is normal??
mine is installed using two purchased foam blocks stacked on top of each other with the transducer against the hull with a little bit of water underneath.

i read another post that someone else committed on the clicking noise.

Mine does more of a ticking sound.......but I can only hear it if I'm a foot or so from it.

My Garmin does it too, I was aware clicking sound is to get signals.

They all do that. Thats the sonar making the noise. some are just louder than others, If you change the speed of the transducer youll hear the clicking noise slow down. If its not making the noise then I'd worry.
