Question on a Lowrance fishfinder??

[uglyokuma]

I do a lot of vertical jigging and last year I coluld always see me jig on the screen excxept for when I was fishing 120 fow or more and even then I still could keep a good eye on it as long as I could stay over top of it. But after re-carpeting my boat over the winter and re-doing a lot of the wirring I can't see my jig even in shallow water and calm conditions. Also I seem to be getting a lot more noise then I did last year. I pinched the transducer wire bad last year durring a tournament and damage it, but I spliced it back together that night and soldered and heat shrinked all the the individual wires, and it worked great after that. But this year I don't know if I lost some of the settings on the fishfinder or if that splice is giving out or what.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks guys

a fishfinder is a great tool.......when it works!!

Find another boat with the same transducer and try your machine out on it, if it works you know your transducer wiring is bad.
