Hello,
Good Luck[pirate] I have the Lowrance HDS 7 gen 1 and from day one i have had this issue. With no reason i loose depth and get --- on display or readings of one to 4 ft no matter what depth i am in. I have spoken to Lowrance and sent unit in under warranty and they returned with new transducer. Tested again and same issue. Remounted transducer in different locations and same issue. Then ordered an aftermarket transducer from Airmar. Installed and still have same issue, Lowrance had software updates for unit with no change. Their advice was leave on shallow water setting but does not help. I am still very upset because of the amount of coin I shelled out for my unit to have these problems. Google this on inet and you will see we are not the only ones to experience this.
Let us know what they say.
