898SI was running great for years till yesterday, on the way back in, I lost bottom.
I thought I had kicked up the high speed transducer bracket, instead the whole transducer was gone.
Bought a new one put it in the bilge to see if it would read, shooting thru the hull, no depth. Put transducer in water beside the boat, still I could not get depth reading, so I took the Y cable out and went back to the original set-up, again, still no depth read out.
Could something have happened to the 898 because of the "disappearing transducer"?
Thanks for reading any ideas?
