To connect your Lowrance Hook 7 fish finder to your Minn Kota trolling motor with Universal Sonar 2, you will need the MKR-US2-10 adapter cable. This cable is specifically designed for connecting Lowrance and other fish finders to Minn Kota motors with Universal Sonar 2 technology
I would use slip rings to tie existing cable to prop motor support shaft and mount transducer to motor housing. 'slip ring'--metal ring a little bigger than shaft with a nipple the size of the cable. OR call the bird at 1-800-633-1468 or www.humminbird.com/Category/Company/Contact-Us/ and use some southern/country slang when talking. Best of luck 'you all'.
Just do a soft or hard reset. I did a hard reset. Power off. Push and hold pages button, press Light/Power button once (do not let go of Pages button; wait until unit turns on, let go of button. Follow prompts. Should be good. Happy fishing.
Go to the Menu and check your settings. There are tolerances you can adjust the sensitivity so it will track smaller objects. Here is a helpful link to the manual for your Humminbird if you don't have it.

The first thing you need to check is if you have sufficient power going to the fishfinder. Take a multimeter and measure the dc voltage going to the display when the unit is off and also on. If this is below 12 vdc this is your problem. You will need to check for loose connections and possibly replace your battery.
If the voltage is good then the problem lies within the display. Unfortunately, you would have to contact Humminbird directly to return the display for repair or purchase a new fishfinder.
Assuming you're talking about a Depth Finder or a GPS... if it's depth finder, I had a similar problem on a Humminbird Depth Finder... the issue was holding down the power button too long. If you push it long enough for the system to light up and let go, it should solve the problem. Holding it down longer takes it into Simulation. Hope that helps.
