    Another option to look at is the Furuno GP1871f 7" ($820.00 +/-) and the GP1971f 9"($1200.00 +/-) . Both are already setup for your thru hull transducer. The dual freq 50/200 kHz will give you good deep water trolling imaging and track the rigger balls. You can always add the side scanning transducer if you want to use it for skinny water fishing. The brochure will give you the highlights of the unit and the transducer chart will give you the unit/transducer compatibility. You'll be able to get rid of both of your existing units and replace them with one. The Furuno 585 is still a dam good unit and saleable to help reduce you overall replacement cost. https://www.furunousa.com/-/media/sites/furuno/document_library/documents/brochures/brochures/gp1x71f_brochure.pdf

    Just a thought. Something easy to overlook. Check the kill switch to be sure that it is in run position. Been there-done that

    I use spoon blanks from both of these guys. The Predator spoons have a little different shape (wide blade) and work pretty good on the fingers. Also they offer silver plated blanks if you are looking for silver plate. https://www.circlebtackle.com/category/trolling-spoons https://peerlesspredator.com

    I run the smaller screen version 620 Furuno in duel beam while trolling and it will display fish and bait. . I like to see what is under the boat as well as around it. The 50 Khz shows rigger balls down to 120' or so and I switch to straight 200Khz when at speed. The settings, freq and scroll speed are displayed across the top of the screen using the Furuno 525ST-PWD transducer.

    Use a pair of drift bags and loose the Happy Troller. Much better boat control.

    May not help but get the penetrating oil out of the plugs. Spray both plugs with carb cleaner or similar. Clean the corrosion best you can and see if that clears up the problem. If you feel you need to protect the connecting plug internals use dielectric grease.
