Lowrance hook 7 transducer issues.
I have a nearly brand new 20 hours lowrance hook 7 that is intermittently losing bottom no depth reading.
The handiest of those tools is a camera or cell phone.
But regardless of model lowrance provides standard troubleshooting guidelines for owners to fix minor problems.
All tests should be conducted in a lake pond river or sea.
I just bought a lowrance hook 7 for the bow of my boat.
You will have no problem finding areas to fish with hook preloaded c map us inland mapping or c map us coastal mapping not available on x models.
Tia for any help.
Software upgrade version 20 0 that enables touchscreen control of the ghost trolling motor from hds live hds carbon and elite ti now available.
Now for some reason it will only stay on for a few minutes and then turns itself off.
Inspect the transducer for signs of damage or paint coating.
I do not have access to another lowrance unit to try and isolate the problem to the transducer.
Lowrance manufactures high definition full sized compact and portable sonar units also called depth finders and fish finders.
But on top of this is the fact that i never had any problems with hummingbird units.
The company also has a model that is designed exclusively for the needs of ice fishermen.
Today with all of the technology available to us we have some very valuable tools for identifying depth sonar related issues.
I hooked it up to its own battery and i am using the transducer in my mg xi5.

It was working great until a few days ago.
Testing your transducer while out of the water can damage the transducer the unit or both.
This will help you to narrow your search for productive water features like ledges points or drop offs with a bird s eye view of 1 foot contours on more than 3 000 lakes.
Clean the transducer face using warm soapy water never heavy abrasives.
Hook reveal new hook.
Don t apply antifouling paint to the transducer surface.

Inspect the transducer for marine growth damage or any obstructions around the transducer face.
