I agree with jpiatkowski. If you had water intrusion, the metal parts of the battery pack are most likely corroded. Happened to me, replaced the battery pack and o-rings on the battery cover and mine works great. Makes sure you put a coat of waterproof grease on the o-rings. It helps keep water out and makes it much easier to unscrew. FYI make sure the battery back is connected + to +. https://fishhawkelectronics.com/replacement-parts/fish-hawk-probe-replacement-battery-pack/ If you need service my experience with Fish Hawk was A+

Spoons with green & black seemed to work best. Most of the steelhead were really fat, they looked more like salmon. Water temp 60ft down was 51. We we seeing some good marks all day, of course screens were blank every time we hooked up. Had several doubles in that magic 270ft depth. We never counted more than 3 boats within our sights. We were the 3rd trailer in the lot at 6:00am. Most of the Charter boats were in their slips. -
Did'nt have high hopes with the forecasted East winds but figured give it a shot with the 2ft or less from NOAA. Spotted fish 150ft and dropped lures. Trolled North to 400ft. Best depth was 270ft. Ended up having a great day. 7 salmom, (3, 20 lbs+), 7 nice fat steelhead, 1 laker. Spoon bite, only 1 on flasher fly. Downriggers , Dipseys and Copper/Lead all caught fish. Most fish in the 50-65 ft range. Lake got nasty at noon, long ride in, 5ft+ waves.

Fished 6:00-8:00am. Started in 3ft waves and they kept getting bigger, so we quit. Marking alot of fish in 120-150ft east of harbor. 46 deg water 70ft down. Picked up a 5lb Salmon on a glow wonderbread spoon 100 ft down on rigger and a 20lb on a chrome wonderbread spoon on 10 color. Probably would have had a good day if it wasn't so rough. -

I installed frame connectors plus I think the 4th gen F body convertibles were fairly strong from GM. 350 stock horsepower is fairly stout for a stock vehicle. I made 600+HP and 850 ft/lbs of torque on a Dynojet. It ran a 10.8 @139mph at Leister on drag radials. Everything is still straight. If I were to put on slicks and launch on 15lbs of boost there may be an issue. My wife drives it more than me, very tame to drive around town but a monster at 15lbs of boost. -
