My depth finder no longer works in dash, I am looking for a new one . What brand is a good one that will last.
thanks

Does it power up????? It could just need a new transducer.

funny , i have been kinda looking for one too. Mine powers up but really cant read the digital numbers at all. I am assuming its the display gone bad. Its a livorsi , think the same as hummingbird.

My does power up , but will not read any dept. My is a Gaffrig and they no longer make my model.

I had the same problem with my Gaffrig and changed to a new Livorsi, both the sender and the display.

It works up to about 40mph, mounted in from of the step.

Mine is a Gaffrig (by Livorsi); which is actually a rebranded Humminbird. I am pretty sure my puck gave up over the winter.

If yours looks like this:

...it's a Humminbird.

Now here is the tricky part:
There are/were two models; the HDR 600 and the HDR 610.

The 600 is the older version, which is what I have. It has a RECTANGULAR shaped plug behind the gauge in the wire to the transducer.

The 600 uses the XT 6 20 transducer. I just bought one here:

...and it should be here today. This it the only one that works, and while it does not look like a puck, you can epoxy it to the floor of the hull just like a puck shaped one.

The 610 is the newer version. It has a BARN SHAPED (like a Giant "D") connector behind the gauge.

If you have the 610, you will have to call Humminbird to find out which puck/transducer you need.

They are incredibly helpful, once you get them on the phone. The hold time was a little long. They also sell the parts direct, and you can find them all over eBay, Amazon, and other Internet sales sights via Google Shopping. Good luck.

Thanks guys but mine must be a older model its white with only a single button in the middle

Several years ago, I had a head unit go bad on my Livorsi (Gaffrig) depth finder, so I bought an entire GL600THW unit that included the head and puck. I have the brand new puck with cable attached, still in the box. I only used the head unit. $35 + shipping if anyone wants it. Send me a PM.
