Humminbird Question

Did the factory restore. Still a problem. Can someone tell where BCB mounts the front transducer? Its not mounted on my trolling motor. This may be a dumb question, but Ill chance it. :/Last edited by dmt1574 on July 2nd, 2011, 4:28 pm, edited 1 time in total.

I had two 700 series HBs on the Baycat that I had for a while. Both of them (797 & 787) did the same thing. I sent the 797 back to HB, they “fixed” it by updating software, or so they said. When I got it back, it did the same thing. Shortly after that, a guy on the BBC suggested I take the depth setting off of “auto” and select the depth manually. Once I did that, both depth finders would read the depth without jumping around all over the scale. Ive got a 997 and an 858 on my current boat (Cougar) and have not had that issue. Assuming that everything is good with your connections, transducer, etc, you might try that.

Thanks guys, good ideas! Very helpful!

Try your bird setup menu, set NMEA output to “on”…..?

Yep, I did find the NMEA output set to “Off”.Thanks guysSteve “Gunz” Molina

Check your transducer, is it set-up for side-imaging??

Go into the set up menu, and “restore factory defaults”. The unit will automatically default to the transducer that came with the unit, which is the XHS 9 HDSI 180 T. Where and how is your SI ducer mounted?? Has it worked before?
