SOLUTION
Check fuse, battery voltage and power connections.
Also, check for continuity through the in-line fuse holder.
Check your connections to the battery. Check for
corrosion on the battery terminals or on the wiring
connections on a fuse block or buss bar.
Wiring is reversed or there is excessive current from the
battery. The red wire should be "+" (positive) and have
continuity with pin #1 on the female side of the power
supply lead.
Adjust the transducer angle or placement. Make sure that
the transducer is installed in the area which has the least
amount of water turbulence.
Overexposed to sunlight - provide shading for display.
Reduce your gain setting and review the section on
interference.
Adjust the transducer angle.
Increase your gain, and check that you are in the proper
depth range.
