NO SOURCE LOWRANCE GEN 1 - 02/02/16 04:12 PM

Any one have any trouble shooting tips when this occurs. I hit a stump and knocked the Transducer up fixed it corrected the angle and then mid way through my last trip the structure scans came across as no source? Could it be the unit, the battery...i know they've been weak and need to be replaced..taking any and all trouble shooting hints. Thank you!

A weak battery can cause all sorts of strange things to occur on your electronics. Is it still doing it after you charged the battery? Does the SS box have power and port lights lit on it? I would check your Ethernet connection from the HDS to the structure scan box, the cables have been known to develop problems.

Thanks those are great ideas to check for. I am going this weekend to check it out and see if there are any improvements. I appreciate you responding.

i think MAK747 hit the nail on the head with the ethernet cable . I used to battle it constantly .
