RE: Zero Depth readings
Thanks Tom.

I seriously doubt it is the location of the transducer - that hasn’t changed in 17 years and I haven’t been getting variable readings of this nature until now (in open, clean water, 3 to 30 metres depth, sandy bottom, no heeling as under engine and no turbulence from traffic).

My itc5 is part of the backbone and there are two terminators only in the system which has been working properly for 15 months.

I mentioned I read on the forum that disconnecting the clear wire from the transducer could solve the problem and I had done this. However, I had NOT insulated the disconnected terminal which I think might have been touching bare pin for an unused transducer and creating the 3 dashes.

I have now insulated the disconnected wire and for the time being at least all is functioning correctly.

Cheers,

Bob
