In my old boat I had a ray marine, even after countless returns for warranty repairs it was never reliable, wouldnt read depths at all some times, not sure about the older units though. When I changed it to a Simrad I never had any issues again.]]> Sun, 05 Dec 2021 15:05:54 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136273&PID=1820035&title=depth-sounder-not-reading#1820035 <![CDATA[depth sounder not reading : No, it has been whilst trailer...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136273&PID=1820030&title=depth-sounder-not-reading#1820030 Author: DoubleL2

No, it has been whilst trailer was being repaired but is back in its normal position, still not reading anything. It is 18 years old. Maybe that is the issue. did play up for while before it so called died.]]> Sun, 05 Dec 2021 13:20:33 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136273&PID=1820030&title=depth-sounder-not-reading#1820030 <![CDATA[depth sounder not reading : hasnt been slightly kicked up,not...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136273&PID=1820029&title=depth-sounder-not-reading#1820029 Author: Pcj

Had it with a garmin at a farm,mussel rope tilted it up.took awhile as to why no reading then had a hmm moment.]]> Sun, 05 Dec 2021 13:16:40 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136273&PID=1820029&title=depth-sounder-not-reading#1820029 <![CDATA[depth sounder not reading : Have a 2003 Raymarine E120 W unit...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136273&PID=1820006&title=depth-sounder-not-reading#1820006 Author: DoubleL2

Have a 2003 Raymarine E120 W unit with a transom mounted 1KW Airman transducer. No depth reading, sonar is running, GPS is working.
Have cleaned contact points at ports.
whats the life of these transducers?
How do I check if the transducer is functioning?
Any help would be appreciated.
Is there a company that can test this set up?
South Auckland area.
