I took it out, and was busy trying to learn how to drive again, fiddling with switches and things to make sure everything still functioned. Anyhoo....I start flipping the rocker switches on the dash, and the ones marked "acc"...for what accessory I never knew, but the one to the right turned on the damn depth sounder!!! It works perfectly!!! I would have felt like a fool, but my friends were too busy laughing at me, that I just joined in!

So, let this be a lesson to ya'll...thats what one of those accessory switches are for!

Double Laugh is that I was going through the same thing, now I am headed out to the boat to check it out...hopefully my sounder will work too !!!

Geez, if I had only though of that too.... I shouldda used the "wife sounder" so I wouldn't have to be fixing my skeg and props again, dang!

And to make me look like even more of a fool; I looked at an old post where I posed the depth gauge question and Butch (Mariah276) told me to check my rocker switches. I guess I need to pay more attention to replies! A belated thanks to you Butch!!
