The left side of my side scan has suddenly stoped showing - it workded before - anything I can try or is there a service center here in the Dallas/FW area I can take it to. Less than 1 year old.
Thanks

Couple of things cause this. Cradle, transducer going bad and installed in the path of the motor so the signal is blocked when the motor is trimmed all the way down. . Check your pins make sure they arent corroeded or broken. check all connectors, try a reset, if nothing give Garmin a call they are pretty good about replacing the transducer for this reason.

If it’s a gt54, I’ve read about several of them going out. Call Garmin and hope they send you a gt56.

probably a bad ducer. Garmin should take care of it if under warranty. and they may even take care of it if it ISN'T under warranty!

Spoke to Garmin and they also said it was the transducer - so just need to take a picture of the screen to show left is not working get the serial number of the transducer and they will send me a new one.
