FF Issues - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If you get power to the head but no readings, you should check your Xducer. If it is not connected to the head correctly or improperly attached to the hull, you could get these symptoms.

Try attaching a different head or taking your head to another boat that uses the same transducer.

So I wasn't getting any love on the primary yak so I hooked everything up to my older one and presto, they both powered up. I ended up calling Eagle and they told me to make sure the connectors were clean. After several attempts, it sometimes works. I have to play around with the connection, but it powers up sometimes. I may need to go find some needle files and see if there is a little oxidation/corrosion down there I'm missing.

Thanks guys for the ideas!
