Thanks all for the replies. Maybe it's just time for an upgrade. If I can dig up another transducer I'll try that but otherwise maybe it's time to pry open the wallet. BOAT

I did do that yesterday. Tried 70ft, 30 ft. etc. No luck. I did not put it on auto after that though. Would that make a difference?

I have a Lowrance Elite 5. The depth reading is stuck on 1.4 to 1.5 fow. I did a hard reset with the zoom in, zoom out and power buttons. No luck. The unit was working as my secondary when I took it off my Thompson. After installing on my Blue Fin I get the stuck reading. Same transducer, same cabling. Cables look OK but there is a little corrosion in the plug of the cable. I sprayed that with a shot of penetrating oil. Transducer, cable or something else? Any thoughts appreciated.

Is this still available?

Nice. Sandy is a great port for fishing. He has quite a few docks newly built and waiting to float next spring. For this season the launch was my dock. I noticed the water dropped quite a bit the past 2-3 weeks. It was a bit of a fiasco pulling it yesterday solo. A lawn chair and a beer and you could have had front row for the entertainment. Time to get the Blue Fin set for some I-Bay perchin

Yup

Thanks for the info guys. I'll be coming out of Sandy Creek Marina so the launch won't be a factor. My first year docked in Sandy so I wasn't sure if it gets sketchy this time of year in the channel. I was out of Port Bay the past 5 years and that channel can change fast.

Looking for one last ride the day I pull it out. Havent been out in a few weeks. What is the depth like getting out of Sandy Creek? Thanks

Rolmops-near Hamlin Thanks Brian, I was wondering if they did that.

Moved from Port Bay to Sandy this year. I am looking for a place that does shrink wrapping out Sandy way. Any help would be appreciated. Gonna miss being just across the bay from Hank's place.

I've built about 15 rods and you will not save money. But you are usually using better components and get exactly what you want. Labor wise they are time consuming unless you are very experienced. The first couple you do are a learning curve. A lot of technique details that need to be learned. If you want custom butt wraps you better have patience to start. Aside from my boat rods I only fish what I built for myself now though. Def satisfaction fishing what you built. First rod I built was a cheap Cabelas UL kit. That rod has caught more fish than I can count. Ugliest damn rod known to man.
