my flasher comes on and the top light works at 0 but the depth light just jumps around sometimes it doesn't even do that. is it the flasher or the transducer?

??<br /><br />Lorance has a really good tech department and FAQ on their website. I would go there for info.<br /><br />There are a few places that specialize in fixing the flasher units, if you want to go that route.

Javman,<br />From your description you are getting a flash at the O mark, but not receiving any flashes from depth. First you need to make sure that your transducer is properly set at the transom and not turned up with the signal going into the air. Be sure to check that the voltage supplied to the unit is proper for your unit. If the electrical supply wire is corroded, or your ground wire is corroded or loose, you may not have enough voltage for the unit to work properly. You will need a voltmeter to check the voltage at the connection for your unit. If you have low voltage, then you will need to do some troubleshooting to correct this. If the transducer is set properly, and you know the depth of your water, then try adjusting the signal strength or sensitivity on the unit. If this does not give you a flash signal improvement for the depth, and your bottom is not being read, then you will need to send the unit in to the technical department for repair. Good luck, be safe!
