Great, thanks Andy. This is the same as mine which i took a look at yesterday and found that the epoxy had come lose and all the oil had gone. I tested the Transponder in a bucket of water and found that the alarm sounded on the dash because of the depth and when taken out the depth finder flashed 00 with no noise. I have re-stuck it down and filled the void with water as a temporary solution....just need to take it out on the water to test now.

    I've stuck it down with sikaflex.

    Gear oil seems to work best for mine. Don't know why???

    I've put motor oil in there and sometimes it takes a little while to settle/find the depth.
    I put gear oil in (because it was what I had to hand) and it Finds depth straight away.

    I noticed you mentioned "flashing 0.0" Andy. Mine just flashes 0.5... Was that an issue you've had?

    No that's not something I've seen before.
    if mines out of oil it just flashes 0.0, no alarm just flashing numbers.
    if it's working then the alarm comes on at 2.0m which is a real pain!
    as it can't be set any lower than that...
    Hopefully now I've resealed the ring down I won't have to keep topping it up with oil

    Hello everyone, just to let you know that I finally got round to fitting my Transponder securely and filling it with Mineral oil….works perfectly now so thanks for your help.

    I do have another question though, the rev counter is not working now….I am sure it was working but can’t be sure. Any advice.
