My Faria depth finder only flashes 0.0 when I have it on, other than when I go through the menus to set 'shallow, deep, ft vs fathoms, etc.' I am inclined to think it's a bad 'thru the hull' transducer. How can I confirm this?
I'm having the exact same problem. I spoke with the service manager at Faria (Ted) and he was thinking that as long as the gauge is showing a reading, it should default to reading the depth. I'll probably send the guage in to FARIA - they'll repair it for $55. You bring up a good point - maybe the transducer is bad? I put a call in to the Tedmeister to see what he thinks. I'll post if he sheds any light.

UPDATE: I found a loose transducer cable on the back of the gauge. I made sure it was locked in on the gauge with the connector clip being firmly in place, all is well now!!
