Replacement Depth Finder

My depth finder quit working. It wasn't the original one and never worked all that great anyway, but now I've got nothing.

Has anybody had a good experience with a replacement unit? I'd prefer something that would mount in the stock location on the control panel.

Re: Replacement Depth Finder

The unit Formula uses now says Teleflex,but it's just a Humminbird HDR 600 made in good ol Alabama About $100 . They used to use the Lowrance 3500,now it's the LST3800 that includes water temp,maybe $150.West Marine or BassProShops or most any marine supply house has them.I would go with the Humminbird,it's cheap.works well,and helps Alabama a little I suppose Get the one with puck transducer,it comes with epoxy to glue inside the hull.

Re: Replacement Depth Finder

Thanks for the info. Is there something special about the epoxy they use to glue the puck to the hull? I think I found my problem - the puck was just laying on the bottom no longer glued. I used some 5200 to re-attach it but it doesn't work as good as it used to.

Re: Replacement Depth Finder

5200 will kill the signal. You can get 2 part epoxy at Ace Hardware or just use fiberglass resin and hardener,not 5200 or silicone of any type
