Replace the transducer or go new.
Transducer is fading.   Drops the signal and goes crazy at the worst time.   It's a lawrance x85.  I know how to read it and I replaced the actual unit about 4 years ago because I like it.  No lakemaster chip just a sonar.  I don't want  to pay huge dollars for a new outfit.   The best part is I can leave it on the boat because nobody wants to steal outdated stuff.  What is the life span of the new high tech imaging units?  What is a reasonable price for a high quality sonar? 
      I am going to have to replace my cell phone pretty soon.   Thats going to be a problem too. :doah:

Re: Replace the transducer or go new.
I know I like my Lowrance a 520 I believe.  I also liked my old X40 if i remember right.  But that one went with the old boat.

Re: Replace the transducer or go new.
I have a 522c from a couple of years ago. Just got an HD5 and it's sweet!! They are around $600 new. If you can get a cheap ducer and like your old unit, go that route to save cash. If you have the cash, get the new HD units. Color is the bomb!!
