Two weeks ago I was idling forward at 2' depth of water, next to friends 2002 Bu Direct Drive.his depth gauge that has always worked showed between 1.5 to 2' back to the ramp.my just blinked at 6.5 the whole way in. If just sitting or idle forward at slow speed in shallow water (anything less than 8' on my boat).it just blinks at the last know reading - say 6.5 feet.but if you accelerate and get the nose way up, it will sometimes read correctly.like all the sudden 4.2 feet.drop the nose back down and it quits reading correctly 's like the sonar (or what ever it is) is not aiming correctly at the bottom of the lake? Or maybe loose wiring, or one of the weird ohm things? This last time out, I noticed one other very strange thing about it that I have not noticed before: The CruzPro D-60 Depth Sounder is a compact digital depth gauge. I still do not have a fix, and have no clue as to what is going on? I don't like it, cause it is not safe in shallow waters. Best deal on CruzPro D-60 Depth Sounder at Marine-Deals. Twice this last weekend got stuck on a sand bar.friends pushed the boat off.but the depth gauge was blinking at 6.5 feet.which means that was the last accurate reading it got! Naturally, this is something else that needs to be fixed. How is it that a depth gauge works anyway? Is it two beams of something converging on the bottom of the lake? Or bounce back? or what? Anyone have an idea what the problem is?ģ. Is this part (the depth gauge) plug and play? OR do you have to rewire the boat to replace it?Ģ. Which is a real pain if you are in unfamiliar waters.ġ. It will never work in any thing less than 6 feet. But sense about January of the this year it does not work in depths of less than 10 feet or so.įor example you may be out in 40 feet of water, come into shore and somewhere it in water depth of 6-10 feet, it will lock and start blinking, which means it is not will not work again until you get back out into deep water again. We even throw in a storage sun cover for good measure.Up until about last December, the depth gauge always worked perfect in all conditions. The DepthTrax 2B includes white/blackįace-plates and trim rings, allowing custom matching to most boat dashĬonfigurations. Finally, we’ve perfected customization with our patented We’ve even incorporated a waterproof plug and play transducer connector and a
