The display is failing on my depth finder Lowrance 3500. i know Lowrance no longer make or support this product, but does any one make a display that will work at 192Khz, do you know if it is still possible to find a 3500 diplay?
I think you can find it on amazon, here: Amazon com Lowrance 3500 take a look and enjoy
SOURCE: How do you get the fish to show up on the screen
Are you looking for the little fish symbols?
Press MENU, down arrow to SONAR FEATURES and press ENT. Arrow to FISH SYMBOLS and press ENT. Press EXIT twice. Any significant return in the water will now show up as a fish symbol.
Are you looking for the fish arches?
You won't get any arches unless the boat is moving and of course there are fish passing within the transducers signal. The shallower the water, the less area you are covering and less likely to get a fish return.
There is an OK guide to understanding what you see on the sonar screen at the link below. It if pretty technical but parts of it may help you out.

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.

If you have a glue in style transducer, be sure that the fluid has not leaked out of the cup. Otherwise, there really is no effective way to troubleshoot those without having known good parts to swap and try. If the cup is empty, it will need to be resealed with silicone (100% silicone) and then refilled with mineral oil.
