Lowrance x135 not functioning properly

Install the battery cables to the battery for the gas motor.

Here is a transducer installation guide for Lowrance, this is pretty standard for all transducers. Pay attention to how the boat sits in the water when trolling for level setting to match in water.

need to check what they call bottom lock and when your running none read correct i have a hd 10 and when im running it wont read correct

solid vertical lines on graph different widths...is this the transducer?

I havew a Minn Kota trolling motor on a Z21 Ranger. Minn Kota has a built in (puck type) transducer on the motor. I have a lowrance 135x on the front. The lowrance will read the temp but will blink the depth. I switched out the depth finder with another 135x with the same results. I have a 522c gps unit networked together and mounted on the console that works fine. Any suggestions on the problem with the 135x?

Did the unit come with a strap to mount the transducer to a bow mount electric? Most units do... If not there is probably one available for the unit as an aftermarket accessory or accessory from the manufacturer... Regarding the transducer wire, just wrap and rout this up the front of the bow mount motor shaft so when you pull the motor up and secure it, it is not going to get in the way. You could cable tie the cord down near the bottom of the shaft and one up near the top where they wont interfere with the motor bracket when the motor is positioned up on the boat.

Are you utilizing another unit in your dash? If so, sometimes when both units are on and in sonar mode, their frequencies will intefere with each other causing the vertical lines. I would suggest turning your dash unit off or lowering it's Hertz rate from 200Hz down to 50Hz.

Funny story...I saw this same issue on my boat years ago. I had an X102C up fron and an LCX-19c in the dash. I acutally thought it was some sort of man-made structure and spent time fishing it...DOH!

The transdoucer (sensor) may have been damaged. Try a new one. It can happen that there is a problem with the unit itself, but I am strong to think it is a defective transdoucer.
