Hoping someone may have some insight on an issue I am having with my Lowrance unit. I am used to the depth read out going blank occasionally when I am on plane but today it blanked out when using my trolling motor and didn't come back until I got back up to speed with the big motor. It still shows the bottom contours so I can get the depth from there but just curious if anyone else has this issue occasionally. I turned the unit off and rebooted and the same thing. Also I noticed hat when I am running split screen with sonar and down scan it will sometimes display two different depths. Only a small difference say 2 to 4 feet but it seems weird. Any thoughts?

Check and see if your xducer has gotten kicked up. Possible you've hit some trash and it's angled up a little. If all was working ok before then my money is on that. It's also possible the xducer is failing depending on how old it is - they do eventually "brown out"

Fly I have had my hds do the same thing everything works fine except it does not display the depth. I updated my software "just to get current" and that problem seems to have went away. I have no idea if that was the problem or if it just reset everything or just plain luck. My sonar and DS are always within 1' but I have separate transducer sonar in hull and scan on transom so I figure it could be some difference.

Thanks for the info guys. Checked my transducers and they seem okay. Will try the software update.
