Transducer or 582L ?

[Anonymous]

Been having problems with my depth recorder and don't know if it is my Airmar transducer or 582L unit. For the last 6 mos or so, the screen has been "tempermental!" Lately it seems to look more like the picture, or a darker brown variation. Then for no reason, it goes back to normal with the blue background and regular depth readings. Have a Garmin 741xs, but before I spend the money on the required adapters, want to figure out if it is the unit or the transducer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hanapa,
Unfortunately your screen shot is too small to really get a good look. What you can do is put the sounder into the Demo mode (page 17 in op manual) to see if the same thing happens. If it happens in the Demo mode then it is the display, if it doesn't then I would suspect the transducer/cable.

Thank you! Will try that. Sorry about the pic. Had trouble decreasing the file size since I took it on my phone.
