Marine Faria depth finder, with thru the hull transducer.

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?

    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!!

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.

I was told that the Uniden QT-206HP depth sounder will not work thru an alunium hull is this true or false

Hi!

The transducer for your depth gauge will not work through an aluminum hull. A drilled through-hull transducer or a transom mount transducer are your options here.

Just in case you require it, your Owners Manual can be viewed/downloaded at:

Hope this helps..

Depth sounder

the transducer has to be in the water or attached to the inside of the hull if fiberglass with no air between the hull and the transducer. It doesn't transmit thru air.

Unit showing 88.8 in the LCD window.

Hello geld1. Your problem is the transducer, cable or connector. Check transducer with an ohm meter, flex the cable while ohming the restance shouldn't change. The location and mounting of the transducer could be the main problem. Use the the correct gel film including a secure postion support.

Replacement of an old Impulse QT206

I believe it is the same model. Even if it is different, it will probably work if it has the same type of plug.
