Transducer wire can be spliced without effecting performance. Just make good connections (solder if capable) & be sure to connect shield.

SOURCE: Replacement of an old Impulse QT206

I believe it is the same model. Even if it is different, it will probably work if it has the same type of plug.

SOURCE: Marine Faria depth finder, with thru the hull transducer.

I'm having the exact same problem. I spoke with the service manager at Faria (Ted) and he was thinking that as long as the gauge is showing a reading, it should default to reading the depth. I'll probably send the guage in to FARIA - they'll repair it for $55. You bring up a good point - maybe the transducer is bad? I put a call in to the Tedmeister to see what he thinks. I'll post if he sheds any light.

SOURCE: lowrance depth finder missing adapter cable

I own a 1995 Four Winns and what you need is a Lowrance LSM-1 depth finder unit. It accepts the two pin lead from the transducer and send the depth reading to the dashboard display via the 6-pin connector. There is also a three wire harness (red/blk/wht) that connects to a power supply.

The reason I know all this is my depth finder fried a couple years ago so I removed the Lowrance LSM-1 from the boat in order to find a replacement. Unfortunately, this was an OEM part that is not available from Four Winns or any aftermarket source. Probably your best bet is to look in a boat salvage yard or purchase an aftermarket depth finder.

SOURCE: My depth finder loses its depth reading at about

You need to set the transducer lower. When at speed, the hull of the ship raises up out of the water and hence your transducer is probably not deep enough at these times to give a proper reading.

My depth finder keeps loseing the bottom and just flickers the last reading

Hi, if this happens when stationery check the angle of the transducer, if it only happens when moving check the height of the transducer also. Regards Phil

How to splice cables for my fish finder

Man, As much as I hate to say it, you need to call up Lawrance and order a new one. I have tried but have never been able to repair cut transducer cables.

Depth finder comes on then goes off

It sounds like some power saver feature on the battery or in the unit. Check with hummingbird, they should have an 800#.
