i have a lowrance X-17 fish finder that i recently hooked the GPS antenna up to. the unit reads the antenna, but it just keeps flashing looking for the satelites. i let it run for about a half hour and it just kept flashing and looking without ever locking on. any ideas?

Lowrance website provides manual's on line and some basic trouble shooting. I had a problem with my Lowrance GPS locating satellites this spring after I'd moved the unit to a new boat. I called Lowrance service after double checking my wiring and installation. Lowrance diagnosed as a bad antenna and a replacement antenna cured the problem. Hope this helps.
