Need Help on Transponder Problem

Post by Fighting Conch »

I have been using the bottom rung Hummingbird fish finder for several years. Recently the bracket broke and the transponder banged behind the boat for the day and now it is not recognized by the electronics. I will probably end up buying a new unit but wonder if it is practical to keep the electronic portion and replace the transponder. Will any transponder work and does anyone have an old one I can try?

Hey Wevans,

My unit is a 100SX. Let me know how to get in touch and we can work something out.

How exciting! I will be there tomorrow just after 7 am. Look for an aging overweight office worker.

Hey Wevans,

Once it cooled off last evening I got busy installing the new fishfinder hookup until the mosquitoes ran me in. I plan on being on the water Friday and will give it a try. Very much appreciate your assistance.

I would like to print you a nice view of your home waters - will try to get that done next week.

The locations of the spring vents came from an old Florida Geological Survey document posted at the DEP springs website. Then I added a couple of vents over to the east based on experience. They can be real productive during the winter not to mention close to a ramp.

Works Perfectly

Thanks again, Wevans. I circled Oyster Bay on Friday and caught some small reds and a flounder. Having a functional depth finder makes a big difference.
