Do you have a side imaging transducer? If so, mounting to the inside of a fiberglass hull will not work. The transducer mounting needs to be as flat (pointed downward) as much as possible and use the slow curing epoxy that would come with the unit. If you cannot find the problem, contact the manufacturer for support.
Sounds like you do not have your transducer connected.
You will know it is working if you have a bottom sounding. If you have a bottom sounding (depth reading) and it is correct then you may have to fine tune the finder to see the fish.
I have the same finder on my boat. http://njsaltfish.com/index.php/captainsfocus?sid=61

You should be able to pull up the manual there.I just did. Garcuda
If you can find someone with a Humminbird that has the same pin configuration on the transducer cable, switch yours out and put the transducer in a bucket of water to see if it works. Otherwise, make sure the cable at the plotter end is firmly placed in the socket, and that no pins got bent in the past. Some of these models came with a metal clip that holds the end of the cable(s) tight to the plotter and is held tight by the mounting bracket screws.
Likely your DSM25 (that little box that connects the transducer to the display) will need to be rebuilt. The red LED is saying that there is an internal fault with the unit. You would need to send the unit in for repair through Raymarine (as there really is not anyone else who can do it), and they would have to replace the main circuit card in the box. I believe that they are charging either $150 or $175 to repair those now... but likely the only way you will get that one to work again.
Yes you can. Basically the red wire goes to the fuse box connection. The fuse box should then be wired into the positive battery terminal. The black wire is the negative ground wire and needs to go directly back to your negative battery terminal or to a common negative buss bar.
