sounder

Hello All, Anyone heard any cons about the new Raymarine ST70 Multi Function Instrument. I'm looking into replacing my aging Signet instruments with one unit and the Raymarine ST70 looks like the instrument to get. I also have looked into the Furuno Multi Function. What I have an immediate...

Funny story this year (or not so): My depth sounder is starting to act up. Occasionally we get correct soundings but generally it just jumps all over the place w/ an occasional MDS (sp?) on the side. I suspected paint to be the issue. Checked all the wiring and moved some stuff around in the...

I have a Data Marine depth sounder that I'm pretty sure the transducer needs replacing. I'm told that removal of the transducer is from the inside out, the opposite of the speed transducer. Apparently there is no sleeve involved as in the speed transducer, so we are probably talking...

I want to replace the Transducer for my Navico DS200 Depth Sounder. As the Navico name is now out of business in N.A. does anybody know of a current make of transducer which will fit that thru hull? I know I will also have to replace the Instrument Display - but that's O.K. Main thing is the...

We were out enjoying a great sail this weekend when our depth sounder went off... after the wave of panic that welled up in my stomach, I realized that we were in a few hundred feet of water and that we had either passed over a whale or that the alarm was triggered somehow and got stuck...

I've done a few postings on this site about our new 32-3 and this time it's about the depth sounder. At sea trials and now that we own the boat, we were getting grossly inaccurate readings on the depth sounder. For instance, in our slip, which is about 8 to 6 feet the depth indicator showed...

Has anyone been able to mount an in hull transducer for the depth sounder, and has it worked for you? If so where did you mount it in your boat? I have a hawkeye depth sounder which list for $100.00 and the instructions suggest to use a plastic bag with water and test it, I have had no luck so...

My old DS10 Standard Horizon depth gauge has gone on the blink. I am usually pretty handy at resurrecting these old instruments, but this one has me stymied. I sail in a shallow lake and it is critical that I know whats under me, so this is no luxury item. When I first turn it on it shows 00...

I have a 1977 E-27. The boat presently has a Data Marine depth sounder with a thru-hull transducer. The transducer is a cylinder approximately 2” in diameter and 6 inches long. The transducer, and thus the depth sounder has failed. Data Marine is no longer in business and thus purchasing a...
