Trouble With Transducer - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If you power it up and cannot hear any ticking noise coming from the Xducer then it is not working. You may also have a setting that turns off the Xducer which you would need to turn on. In deep enough water, even a slight angle could give you no returns on 200khz. Did you try the low frequency (50 or 83)? Those frequencies have a much wider cone angle which would make returns easier from an angled Xducer.
