I would like to buy a transducer and power cable for a 102423456 eagle fish elite 500c

Question edited for a lot more clarity. All question need FULL 'make model (what it is)'.
Question moved from 'Power Computers' to Lowrance.

Your problem is in the boat. You either have a bad electrical connection, or a bad connection TO the transducer or the transducer itself is faulty. You can return the transducer under warranty or return it for testing. It is unlikely to be the internal memory IMO.

Others report the same issue

Have you tried a Hard Reset.

Hi
One of the two cables is for power to the battery while the other supplies power to the transducer. BOTH cables (+ and -) must be used and intact.
In case anyone requires it, here is the link to the installation manual.
Hope this helps.

may want to call or email the manufacture of the unit for that info

Take a look at his web page. This card will work in your 500C.

Hi, no good news I'm sorry. It's a fish finder not a combo fish finder/gps so you are unable to enter co-ordinates. Sorry Phil.

I NEED A TRANSDUCER FOR AN EAGLE-168.
SOMEONE CONTACT ME. PLEASE..............

try going to eagles web site and download a manual to your printer. good luck.

Well, if it is still working ok now with the partially melted plug, then the transducer itself sounds like it is fine... Attach a new plug and it should all work the same (just with a nice new plug).

Also make sure your power supply to the Fish Finder is properly fused.

False fish readings are commonly caused by electrical interference such as alternator noise, and by air bubbles flowing across transducer.

For starters make sure your fishfinder is on an independent circuit and not on one powered by your ignition switch. In other words, you should be able to turn your fishfinder on, even though the engine is turned off. Ideally the fishfinder should be wired directly to the battery with an in line fuse.

Try running the boat at a speed slightly higher than trolling speed, then kill the engine, as the boat slows down to trolling speed do you still see false echos? If yes then the problem probably lies with how the transducer is mounted, or where it is located on the hull.

If you don't see the false echos when the engine is off, it may be necessary to reroute the transducer cable to keep it away from the boat's ignition wires. You can get transducer extension cables if necessary. Also there are filters that you can buy that suppress alternator noise buy attaching between the battery and the engine.

Another common cause of false echos from electrical interference is a transducer cable that has been cut and spliced.

I hope this information helps. Please reply if you have any questions about my response.
