Re: Depth finder gauge
As a Platinum contributor you should have access to all of the manuals in the 'Manuals and Supplements' section. Just as a word of warning though....if the unit starts beeping at you, you might not wanna go any further forward. ;)

Mine used to beep all the time till I found out it needed oil....:rolleyes:
Mind you the shallow water alarm only goes down to 2m which is a bit of a PITA |

I have the Faria andy b if I could get a copy!! Can't figure the thing out. Why it works sometimes and not others. How to set the alarms, etc.

Re: Depth finder gauge
Chances are the transducer has come loose from the epoxy mounting. This is a common problem. You can do a search on here and figure out how to remount it, but it is in somewhat of an awkward position to work on. I found sometimes just putting a little bit of water in the bilge made the depth finder work. That's the problem with in-hull depth finders, the epoxy eventually goes bad and causes these type of things.
We have all the manuals and everything you'd ever need available, just click the "Donate" tab and find out more... |
Re: Depth finder gauge
Unless like me you have an oil bath transducer.
easy way to tell is if the transducer is bonded to the hull, or if it's fitted into a twist ring that's bonded to the hull. As for the manual, Mikey is right (He usually is ;)) there's one in the manuals section of this site |

Re: Depth finder gauge
Hey gents, I am as of 5-13-13 a new Mariah owner, its a 1996 Talari 225 (it has Z 225 decals on the boat but I am unsure if it is actually a Z, but that's for another thread lol). My question is, my factory depth gauge is reading 0 at all times, does anyone know where the factory transducer is mounted and or what kind of transducer it is? Any known common problems that I might try to troubleshoot first? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Depth finder gauge
If the transducer if fitted into a ring and the ring is bonded to the inside of the hull then you may have an oil bath transducer like I have on mine.
Mine did just what yours is doing until I filled it with oil. now it works great |
