I have owned my Californian for three weeks now, and one by one, we are getting all the systems running, ie: generator, furnace, winlass and numerous other odds and ends.
I have a question re: the depth finders. There are two on the boat and neither work. One is old school, with large yellow/orange readouts (head end at helm with remote view at flybridge) The other is a 15 year oldish fish finder. The head end on both of these systems power up, but they appear to get no signal from transponders, as they don't register any depth. My boat has sat in the same covered slip for five years. Can algae and a dirty bottom prevent the transponders from working properly?
Thanks,
sam
