Simrad loss of depth reading

[L23250HP]

Simrad loses depth reading after 20mph. Dealer says there is no fix due to prop turbulence. This forum says the same. Anyone attempted to reset Simrad Echo or reset Data source? If so any luck?

Move it down

I've tried that and multiple other options including switching transducer to the starboard side with no change in results- but thanks Michigan. How far below the pontoon did you go to make it respond correctly?

Try adjusting the angle of the transducer as well

Another forum member, Big Dog, has depth readings at all speeds with his Simrad. Maybe he'll chime in or you can send him a PM.....

Mine works to 20 mph and it took a while to get a good position for it. Also use a light coat of transducer paint in salt/brackish water to keep slime and barnacles off.

It’s about 2” below but I was limited by the length of the transducer wire. Now it works well into the 30’s.

I had the same problem and changed the angle so that the aft part of the transducer was a little lower than the front. After that I was getting depth readings up to around 30 mph.

I had the exact same issue. Worked with my dealer and Bennington directly to find the solution. Been perfect even since. See my thread. Best of luck!

Depth Guage Reading at Speed

Hey guys... We took delivery of our new 2022LX 26 with the 300 Verado a couple of weeks ago. Since delivery, we noticed that anything after 10 miles an hour we lose all readings from the depth gauge from the Simrad Go7 transducer. I wanted to reach out to the amazing group that we have here to...
