The Hummingbird depth sounder on my 1998 Islander 268 does not function. It does not power up at all. I checked all connections, and they seem solid and clean. As a new boat owner, a couple of simple questions:
How reliable are these depth sounders?
Is it common for them to fail?
Hummingbird offers a replacement for $100 with a puck transducer. It seems to me changing out the system is easier than prolonged troubleshooting. Any suggestions?
Does anyone know the original transducer location for the depth sounder?
