Hope someone out there can help me out....
Just bought a new 798 HD SI. I have it on the front of my boat with the trolling motor transducer. I cannot seem to get a temperature reading in the water or even out of the water. My 997 at the console reads both in and out of the water. Did I hook something up wrong? Or is the issue with the software or maybe the transducer? Please help!

Does the diagnostic screen show it as connected? I believe temp is shown seperate than transducer on that screen. If it does, maybe it is just not set-up/configured for the display. If it doesn't, check to see if you have a bent or broken pin in connector. Also, look for a pinched cable.

nitronut38,
Which model transducer is this?
-
Doesn't seem to be anything that looks broken. Anything to the naked eye at least. The model of my transducer is XTM 9 SI 180 T.

That transducer has the built-in temperature sensor so the 798ci HD Si unit should read and display it. Try connecting your 997 to the same transducer and see if you get a temperature reading. That will let you know if it is the temperature sensor in the transducer that is bad or something with your 798ci HD Si unit.
