My Lowrance transducer just started making a loud snapping and ticking noise. It's a through the hull transducer and I can hear it all the way in the front of the boat. Any idea's? It's only a couple of months old.

I have two Eagle 320's and I can hear them tick.
From what I've been told that is a normal thing to tick while its on means it is working.

I've heard mine ticking...Eagle Fishmark 320.
No fish is too good for the grease.

Mine had done that. But since I had to replace the transducer twice. Not from that but Fork, if you know what I mean. It has stopped.

The thru-hull transducer didn't click in my old boat. When I got my new one, I kept thinking something was wrong with the batteries or there was a bad wire. One stupid question later, and I found out it was the transducer. So mine clicks too.
I have an X25 with a thru-hull transducer on mine.

Guys, this is perfectly normal--it's supposed to "tick"--otherwise, I would be worried...

I have a X-27 on the fron t of my boat, and it clicks very loud. I turn it off when I am fishing shallow water. One good thing it sounds like a rattle trap.....

Think they start ticking just before they explode. Stand back.

I just thought that it was going bad, because it just started a couple of weeks ago. Was quite before. I can lift up the back lid and it sounds like it a machine gun inside.

Mine have always made that noise. I turn them off if I feel I might spook the fish.
