I have a 42 GB that previous owner installed 2 Airmar transducers, one is "depth/temp" and other is "speed/temp".
I do not get any temp readings because I think, signal interference from 2 transducers. Transducer readouts are on Simrad IS-20s.
But that's not my concern. My concern is my DEPTH readings are limited to about 100 feet yet the transducer spec says it's good for 330 ft. I use the boat partially for scuba diving and need depth indication beyond 100 feet.
With current knowledge after talking to tech folks at Airmar is one of two possibilities: 1) need to clean the transducer, or 2) faulty transducer that needs replacement.
Can anyone shed more light on this problem? Also, I am on a learning curve and have yet to attempt an in-water removal of the transducer by using the plug to insert after yanking out the transducer. Can I get some practical experience guidance on the wisdom of doing this? I know the transducers are in there tight and maybe stuck because I already tried pulling pretty hard to get them out and neither one budged.
