I have been getting unusual readings from my sounder for several weeks now. The issue started after I had my boat hauled and bottom painted. I've checked the transducer and there is no bottom paint on the unit, I had a diver check as well.
I have a TZT14 MFD with the DDF1 sounder and an Airmar 600w transducer, all these items are just over one year old. I have not had any issues with the unit until the event noted above. I just updated the software to the latest version, that did not help.
The system no longer displays any bottom information. I do get a periodic readings on sea temp and bottom depth but only for a few seconds each minute or so, they seem accurate. I also get a periodic "Fish Finder Disconnection Alarm" on the TZ14. This happens every five minutes or so, beeps twice then clears.
My thoughts is that I have a couple of issues but I'm looking for suggestions on where to start. I have checked all the connections between the MFD, DDF and the transducer and they seem good.
Thoughts?
