dalthicks Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Hey all, New poster here - hope this is the right place to post. I have a 2 - Lowrance HDS 7 in my boat. I am losing the depth display when in rough water. It used to act up at speed as well. I have swapped them around so I'm fairly positive it's in the transducer. Any ideas? Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted September 3, 2017 Super User Posted September 3, 2017 It's not the transducer. As far as I know, this was/is a common problem AFTER the update was performed. Both of mine were just fine BEFORE I had this stupid update done and now they lose depth and sometimes shut down and restart while I'm running. I mainly run mine as chart plotter and fish my flashers anyway so I'm not bothered by it quite so much but I do know the frustration. IF you are certain it's the transducer, go ahead and replace but I'm just saying it might not be. Quote
dalthicks Posted September 3, 2017 Author Posted September 3, 2017 That sounds about right. Any way to revert to an older software? Or is Lowrance pretty good about pushing out updates when there are issues? Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted September 5, 2017 Super User Posted September 5, 2017 I don't know if a hard reset would do it or not, maybe? You could try contacting Lowrance for their solution. Unless mine gets worse I'm not messing with it anymore. Quote
Super User NHBull Posted September 6, 2017 Super User Posted September 6, 2017 Shutting down the unit usually fixes it. If not, disconect the power source for a couple secs. Works every time Quote
