Took the boat out today on laneir. Charleston park had a line at the ramp. have not been out in it since Nov. Nothing has changed except a new cranking battery. Fished a few stickups and one dock. Water was 49 in the back of 6 mile creek. Nothing......Did not really think so anyway. Had the wife with me and it was the trial run to make sure everything worked. boat ran like a top.......
Except my front depth finder on the trolling motor. Depth would flash 0 or sometimes another number and I never saw the bottom. Depth would always flash. It would lock in sometimes but then start to flash. One time I was in 20 feet and it did say 20 but started to flash. Pulled the trollingmotor back up and it still flashed 20 feet. Turned it off and on and it read 0. Like I said,,,nothing has changed with the setup from last year. Anybody have any ideas?????

You might try reseting the factory setting.
Sounds to me like you're having problems with your transducer. I'm having problems with my Eagle Fish elite 480 and I called Eagle. They're repairing it for free I just have to pay shipping one way.
To heck with work, lets go fishing.
had the same problem with my first eagle..got a humminbird to replace it.

Guys, I tried reseting it. It did not help,,,Wes,,, your probabley right. Will call Eagle on Thursday. Got to run over to MS tomarrow for work.
Smitty,,,,,plan on a humminbird after the big fat tax return. But still need one up front on the trolling motor. The 797 SI goes next to the steering wheel when I get that.
