Default Fariah depth gauge works....sometimes
Hi all. Finally my talari running good, but noticed yesterday at the lake that the in dash depth finder has a mind of its own. Most of the time it would show the depth reading, but then it would start flashing a zero for a few minutes and other times the readout would just be blank, then start working again. I checked wires, connections, etc. didn't matter if the boat was running or not. Any ideas?

As long as you have a few nuts, bolts and screws left over after the job is done, it should work!

    Transducer has come loose from the hull Paul , more than likely.
    It's under the engine.
    Do a search "Depth Finder" or "Transducer" , lots of good info on repairing the issue.

    If you twist off the top half of the transducer there is a viscous liquid to dampen the electric pulse, anti freeze works fine because its just the right viscosity

    Larry,
    Could the transducer be in a different location? Only thing I have found under the engine is the bilge pump and the water inlet valve for the transom shower

    It's either underneath the front of the engine or its on the transom exterior. Never seen them mounted anywhere else.

    Mine was almost up against the transom in the bilge area on the starboard side of the boat.
    I 86'd it when I went to my Lowrance Sonar setup , as it didn't work anyway.(cut cable)
    Can you chase the cable Paul , to see where it goes?
